Identification
An unusual slim babbler with a long tail. Brown on the upperparts and rufous on the underparts, with a pale eye and bill and a finely streaked crown. Found in woodland and savanna in areas with thick undergrowth, almost always in small groups. Somewhat similar to other babblers, especially Scaly Chatterer, but has much more rufous underparts. The vocalizations include a variety of dry notes, scolds, and mews, usually given in chorus by a whole group.
