The buffy laughingthrush (Garrulax berthemyi), also known as the chestnut-winged laughingthrush is a species of bird in the Leiothrichidae family. It is found in the Chinese mainland. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the rusty laughingthrush, G. poecilorhynchus; a species restricted to Taiwan following the split. Compared to the rusty laughingthrush, the buffy laughingthrush has paler grey underparts, more contrasting rufous wings, broader white tips to the tail, and distinct black lores.
