The bold-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis bornensis) is a species of Old World babbler[2] found in Southeast Asia.
The bold-striped tit-babbler has a distinctive yellowish supercilium and rufous crown. The throat is yellowish with brown streaks.
Call is a loud repeated chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk somewhat reminiscent of a common tailorbird.
Bold-striped tit-babblers forage in small flocks and creep and clamber in low vegetation. They breed in the pre-monsoon season from February to July and build a loose ball-shaped nest made from grasses and leaves.
