The Yunnan Parrotbill, Paradoxornis ricketti, is a species of bird in the Old World babbler family. This 10 cm long parrotbill is endemic to China, breeding in northwest Yunnan.
It is often considered conspecific with either the Brown-winged Parrotbill, Paradoxornis brunneus, or the Vinous-throated Parrotbill, Paradoxornis webbianus. Its behaviour is described as similar to that of Vinous-throated [1].
