Палаванский шелкопёр Malacopteron palawanense

A medium-sized bird of lowland forest tangles and bamboo on Palawan and Balabac. Medium-brown above with more rufous on the tail, shoulder, and forecrown. Has a white throat, a white belly, and white under the base of the tail, with a pale brown chest and sides. Note the gray cheek, the pale eye, and the hook-tipped bill. Somewhat similar to Pin-striped Tit-Babbler, but larger, with whitish rather than yellowish underparts. Song is a short varied sequence of whistled notes, sounding rather tuneless. Also gives a series of forceful downslurred “piu!” notes varying in pitch and volume.
