A vinous-throated parrotbill was captured "dancing" on a chrysanthemum next to a lake in Nanning City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Round-headed and long-tailed, the vinous-throated parrotbill (Sinosuthora webbiana) is characterized by bright rufous patches in the wings. The bird tends to stay in dense vegetation and can be easily recognized by its high-pitched thin sound. Its bold nature makes it almost not scared of people and is frequently seen jumping from tree to tree.
