The male looks very similar to the local race of Mocking Cliff-chat Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris although the white on the wing is at the base of the primaries rather than the shoulder. Despite this similarity it is felt to be more closely related to the rock thrushes, hence its generic name of Monticola. | |||
