It is brown above with a grey supercilium and whitish tuft behind the eye while the underparts are rufous-orange
with white on the centre of the belly. The lower mandible of the bill is flesh-coloured. These photos are of females and they have a less obvious
supercilium then the males.
They feed on insects in the leaf litter and foliage on or near the ground. |
