Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Chunky, thickset brown babbler, endemic to Borneo. Note dark face and crown, white eyebrows, orange breast, and bright white throat. Scurries about on the forest floor like a rodent, rummaging through leaf litter, either singly or in pairs. Found in lowland and foothill forests. Gives a high-pitched, but sometimes mellow, “bee’lee”, as well as harsh, rasping calls.
