Garrulax rufifrons
The rufous-fronted laughingthrush (Garrulax rufifrons) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae, endemic to Java, where it occurs in moist tropical montane forests, feeding on insects and fruit. There are two subspecies: rufifrons in West Java and slamatensis on Mount Selamat in Central Java.

Description
It is 27 cm (11 in) in length, and has a striking and very deep rufous-red patch on an otherwise grey plumage above its bill. Its large eyes are a striking light yellow colour. Like other laughingthrushes, it typically occurs in small family groups of five or six birds, but little is known about its breeding since only very recently has there been any success breeding in captivity and its natural habitat is extremely rugged mountains.
