- A. s. castanicauda in southern Myanmar and north-western Thailand
- A. s. traii in southern Vietnam
- A. s. malayana on the Malay Peninsula
Subspecies cinereigenae is treated as synonym with yunnanensis while proposed subspecies victoriae from Myanmar usually is not accepted1.
Habitat
Broadleaf evergreen forest (prefers oak), mixed broadleaf-conifer forest, rhododendron forest, also pine forest and scrub. Found from 1800m to 3750m, in winter down to 1300m.1

Feeds on insects (beetles, caterpillars and others) but takes also berries and seeds, sometimes also nectar from rhododendron flowers. Forages in treetops, low herbage and rhododendron.
Outside breeding season in groups of 6 to 20 birds, often in bird waves together with other species like Red-tailed Minla and Yuhinas.
