The eye-ringed parrotbill (Suthora ricketti), also known as the Yunnan parrotbill, is a species of bird in the parrotbill family Paradoxornithidae. This 10 cm long parrotbill is endemic to China, breeding in northwest Yunnan.
It was formerly considered conspecific with the brown-winged parrotbill Suthora brunnea, (sometimes the vinous-throated parrotbill, Suthora webbiana), but more recent studies have found it to be a distinct species. [2] Its behaviour is described as similar to that of vinous-throated. [3]
