It has a bushy crest and two well-marked wing-bars which can vary in colour from dull white to cinnamon depending on the sub-species involved. There is a narrow eye-ring and a weak whitish eyebrow above a "sleepy-looking" eye. The throat is whitish becoming grey on the chest and yellowish on the belly. It is generally easy to see as it forages on foliage gleaning its prey like a warbler. | |||
