It is found in grasslands, moorland and open woodland. It is usually seen on the ground where it searches for insects and grubs.

Formerly regarded as a sub-species of Groundscraper Thrush Psophocichla litsitsirupa simensis it has warmer brown upperparts and a buffy wash on the underparts as well as fairly strong genetic and vocal differences according to the HBW and Birdlife International Checklist.
