Dark gray apalis with a rufous throat and breast. The color of the chin varies geographically: white in the north and rufous in the south. Found mainly in the canopy of montane forest. Usually in pairs or small groups which will join mixed-species flocks. The main vocalization is a quick series of high, insect-likes calls by the male, usually accompanied by “tip” notes from the female. Somewhat similar to African Tailorbird, but much longer-tailed, and with more rufous on the throat and less on the head.
