The Golden-breasted "Fulvetta" (Lioparus chrysotis) is a species of songbird found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Traditionally united with the other "fulvettas" in Alcippe in the old world babbler family (Timaliidae), it is actually closer to the typical warblers and hence placed in the Sylviidae even in their new, more restricted sense, in a monotypic genus Lioparus.
