A relatively thick-bodied, long-tailed warbler, prone to creeping like a mouse low in vegetation. Dark brown above. Chest and face paler orange-rusty with a dark eye-stripe. Endemic to Guadalcanal, where it inhabits undergrowth of humid montane forest above 1200 meters of elevation. Most common call consists of explosive, harsh scolding notes. Once treated as the same species as Santo Thicketbird, but now regarded as separate species.
