Taxonomic note

The genus Fulvetta has been moved from the family Sylviidae to Paradoxornithidae following Cai et al. (2019). Fulvetta cinereiceps (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) was previously listed as Alcippe cinereiceps. Formerly treated as conspecific with F. cinereiceps and F. formosana. Two subspecies recognized.

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common and widespread in southern China (del Hoyo et al. 2007). This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 0.7% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is tentatively suspected that this loss of cover may have led to a decline of between 1-19% in the species' population size over the same time frame.
