Identification
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.
