Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A small bird of upper montane forest canopy. Black upperparts and bib with white belly extending to the sides of the chest, and white forehead spot. Note the white edging to the flight feathers and corners to the tail. Female is slightly duller. Somewhat similar to White-winged Robin, but Subalpine has a white rather than black belly. Song is a series of chipping notes changing pitch up and down slightly.
