A tiny bird of lowland and foothill forest canopy. Olive back, gray head and chest, pale belly and yellowish sides. Note short tail and relatively short bill for a longbill. Forages on the outside of trees and bushes for insects or spiders, and often joins mixed species flocks. Most similar to Spectacled Longbill but smaller in size and lacking the eye-ring. Also seen at flowering trees. Call, a high-pitch “whip!” or short chatter.
