Liocichla omeiensis (Emei Shan Liocichla)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Emei Shan liocichla (Liocichla omeiensis) is a passerine bird in the Leiothrichidae family. The species, also known as the Omei Shan or grey-faced liocichla, is endemic to mountain ranges in Southern Sichuan, China. It is closely related to the Bugun liocichla, a species only described in 2006, and which it closely resembles. The Emei Shan liocichla is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. It is threatened by habitat loss through logging and conversion to agriculture. Some populations are protected inside reserves, such as the Emei Shan Protected Scenic Site.
