Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Fairly plain brown-and-orange robin-chat with a white eyebrow and a dark face. Unlike a typical robin-chat, the tail is entirely orange. Found in the understory of montane forest, especially along streams. The song is an odd and distinctive series of metallic, jangling, high-pitched notes. Similar to akalats, but lacks gray on the head. Also similar to White-bellied Robin-Chat, but distinguished by the orange belly, much bolder white eyebrow, and all-orange tail.
