The only confusable species is the Grey Treepie which however lacks the bright rufous mantle. The bill is stout with a hooked tip.

The widespread populations show variations and several subspecies are recognized.

  • The nominate subspecies is found in the northeastern part of peninsular India south to Hyderabad.
  • The desert form is paler and called pallida,
  • vernayi of the Eastern Ghats is brighter while parvula of the Western Ghats is smaller in size.[3]
  • The form in Afghanistan and Pakistan is bristoli
  • while the form in southern Thailand is saturatior.
  • E C Stuart Baker describes sclateri from the upper Chindwin to the Chin Hills and
  • kinneari from souther Myanmar and northwest Thailand.[4]
  • The population in eastern Thailand an Indochina is sakeratensis.[5]

The range of this species is quite large, covering all of mainland India up to the Himalayas, and southeasterly in a broad band into Burma (Myanmar), Laos, and Thailand in open forest consisting of scrub, plantations and gardens.


The Rufous Treepie is an arboreal omnivore feeding almost completely in trees on fruits, seeds,[6] invertebrates, small reptiles and the eggs and young of birds; [7] it has also been known to take flesh from recently killed carcasses. It is an agile forager, clinging and clambering through the branches and sometimes joining mixed hunting parties along with species such as drongos and babblers. It has been observed feeding on ecto-parasites of wild deer.[8]

Foraging.

The breeding season in India is April to June. The nest is built in trees and bushes and is usually a shallow platform. There are usually 3-5 eggs laid.[9][10]
