Identification
A handsome little bird with a stain the color of dried blood on its throat and lores. Bright yellow overall with black-and-silver eye rings and wingbars. Like most other shrike-babblers, tends to be rather slow and not particularly acrobatic, often trailing along on the edges of mixed flocks in hilly and submontane broadleaf forests. Gleans insects from foliage with a finely-hooked silvery bill. Gives a strong, insistent, and repetitive “wiCHE, wiCHE, wiCHE, wiCHE.”
