In the breeding season it is found in mixed forest with thick undergrowth including rhododendron at between 1,800 and 3,500 metres while in the winter it is found lower down in broadleaf and secondary forest.

It has bold head stripes and pale yellow wing-bars. The rump is also pale yellow while the back and wings are bright olive-green. From chin to upper breast it is pale grey while the remaining underparts are yellow. The bill is small and delicate-looking.

There are recordings on xeno-canto and additional material is available via Avibase.
