Swinhoe's minivet, or the brown-rumped minivet, is a bird in the cuckooshrike family. It breeds in China and winters in Indochina. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland and montane forest (Wikipedia, general species account).
The cached account is short and gives no description, measurements, diet or breeding information, and it does not name India. SoIB 2023 lists it as a winter migrant forest bird that eats invertebrates, without a priority category, so its status in India should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
