Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A colorful robin-chat of humid forest habitats. The head is strikingly patterned, with a black cap and cheek, a white eyebrow, and an orange throat. The shoulder has a pale blue patch that can be largely or completely obscured. The tail has a dark center and broad orange sides. Found in the understory of various types of forest at low and middle elevations, including rainforest, gallery forest, and secondary forest. Similar to White-browed Robin-Chat, though generally found in more forested environments. Separated by the blue shoulder and the different and far more variable song. The song is a complex, variable, and musical mix of whistles and many other types of notes that usually also includes imitations of other birds.
