Ptilorrhoa des Geisler Ptilorrhoa geislerorum

A medium-sized, long-tailed, ground-dwelling bird of lowland and foothill forest. White throat and upper chest, bordered by a thin black line across the chest and a broad black band through the eye. Largely replaces the very similar Blue Jewel-babbler geographically, but Dimorphic female has unique brown plumage with a pale brown stripe behind the eye and male has a gray crown. Overlaps with Chestnut-backed but that species is both blue and brown. Song, a monotonously repeated, medium-pitch note.
