It is a bird of humid forest and scrubland, and its range runs through the east of the country. The species is marked by a grey head and nape in the nominate form, with deep rufous upperparts and wings, a paler rump and tail, and a grey chin with white streaking. The other subspecies has a whitish chin and a rufous throat. Adults of both forms share a dark iris, a long bill, and grey legs and feet.
