The '''rufous treepie''' (''Dendrocitta vagabunda'') is a [[species]] of [[bird]] in the [[Corvidae]] ([[crow]]) [[family (biology)|family]]. The rufous treepie is native to the [[Indian Subcontinent]] and adjoining parts of [[Southeast Asia]] from [[Pakistan]] to [[Vietnam]]. Woodland, forest edges and gardens are the [[habitat]] of this species. It feeds on various [[fruit]]s, [[insect]]s and [[carrion]].

== Distribution and subspecies ==
[[File:Dendrocitta vagabunda subspecies distribution.png|thumb|left|Distribution and subspecies of the rufous treepie]]

The rufous treepie builds its nest 6−8 meters above the ground in trees. Both male and female take turns breeding and feeding the young. There are usually 3-5 eggs laid.<ref name=birdsinfo>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdsinfo.net/birdsinfo/rufoustreepie.aspx |title=:: BIRDS INFO :: Rufous Treepie |work=birdsinfo.net |year=2012 [last update] |access-date=14 February 2012 |archive-date=24 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624081928/http://www.birdsinfo.net/birdsinfo/rufoustreepie.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> After the young have hatched, the remain with their parents for several months. Rufous treepies form pair bonds for life.

The species was first described in 1790 by [[John Latham (ornithologist)|John Latham]]. A previous description as "Dendrocitta rufa" is not valid. It belongs to the [[Treepie]] genus ''[[Dendrocitta]]'' which is Southeast Asian in distribution. According to [[ornithologist]] [[Derek Goodwin]], the rufous treepie may be closely allied to the [[hooded treepie]] (''D. frontalis''). There are eight recognized subspecies.
There are no estimates for the population of this species. It is common throughout its range, but rare in [[Vietnam]].

== Description ==
The Rufous Treepie is shorter and smaller than the [[European magpie]].<ref name=birdsinfo/> The head, neck and breast are grey, although sometimes they are slightly [[brown]]. The underparts and lower back are orange-brown. The tail is a light blue color with a black tip. The bill, legs and feet are black.<ref name=birdsinfo/>
