How to spot
Requires targeted expeditions to its specific habitat. Look for its relatively plain, dusky plumage and listen intently for its unique vocalizations, which were key to its initial identification as a distinct species.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its limited range. Best observed during early morning hours when it is most active and vocal.
