Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A medium-sized, long-tailed bird of lowland and foothill forest. Male has a black head, upperparts and chest, a single white wingbar, a white belly, pale orange sides, and white outer tail feathers. The female has a gray chest and face with a brown cheek, crown, back, and wings. Somewhat similar to Philippine Magpie-Robin, but White-browed Shama has a long white eyebrow and a rufous rump. Heard more often than seen. Song is a pleasant and varied whistled melody, often finishing in a low, descending warbling trill.
