It is a small insect-eating songbird found in moist lowland forest and moist montane forest. First described by Edward Burton in 1836, it was once placed in Tesia and later shown to belong with Cettia. Three subspecies are recognised: castaneocoronata in the Himalayas and north-east India to south China and north Laos, abadiei in north Vietnam, and ripleyi in Yunnan.
