Hi, I'm really sorry your post got buried under all these others. I hope that someone answers soon. I will post to move it up in the new post section.

I hope it is a Buff-chested, as we don't have any pictures of this species in the Gallery.

It looks like a Buff-BREASTED Babbler to me - the call we're hearing is the species's alarm call. XC777715 Buff-breasted Babbler (Pellorneum tickelli)

Buff-chested is similar to Rufous-capped, so has an orange-red cap and plain underparts, without the slight streaks we see here. Buff-chested has a very limited distribution in Vietnam, with a few records from a couple of areas close to the Thai border.
