Корніхон східний Calyptophilus frugivorus

A long-tailed, shy, ground-feeding species of wet broadleaf forests with dense undergrowth, especially near streams from sea level to 2,000 meters elevation. Dark brown, with white throat that contrasts sharply with dark gray-brown chest and belly. Primarily feeds in thick leaf litter. Rather similar to the Western Chat-Tanager, which is a bit larger and lacks the yellow eyering seen on Eastern Chat-Tanager. Songs include a squeaky “whi whi wit which-you,” and a “tsit tsit tsit-sweeek,” with a thin, high-pitched, and upslurred “sweeek.” Also a, “whe-whe-ts-tsi” and “pit-tee-oo ts tsi tsi tsi.” Songs are not as clearly whistled as are those of the Western Chat-Tanager. Call is a high, thin “tsit.”
