The Rufous-winged Fulvetta ("Pseudominla castaneceps") is a bird species of the Old World babbler family (Timaliidae). Its common name is misleading, because it is not a close relative of the "typical" fulvettas, which are now in the genus "Fulvetta" and are actually Sylviidae.

The Black-crowned Fulvetta ("P. klossi") was until recently included here as a subspecies.

This 11 cm long bird has a dark-streaked chestnut crown, white supercilium bron upperparts and pale underparts. The wings show a striking contrast between the bright rufous primaries and the black coverts.

This is a noisy species with a rich warbled "ti-du-di-du-di-du-di-du" song and wheezy "tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi call.

It is common in evergreen montane forests above 1200 m ASL, often feeding on vertical trunks.
