Hodgson, 1837The Red-tailed Minla (Minla ignotincta) is a bird species in the family Timaliidae. Most modern authors consider its genus Minla monotypic. Like the two other species formerly placed in Minla, it is probably part of a group including such other genera as Actinodura (barwings), Heterophasia (sibias) and Liocichla (liocichlas).
It is found in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It range includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
