A typical black, white, and dark gray batis. Note the chest band, which is black in males and chestnut in females. The cap is dark gray, and there is a long, thin white eyebrow. Found in woodland, scrub, mangroves, and savanna ranging from moist to dry. Often in pairs. Similar to Pale Batis, but darker overall.
