How to spot
Look for its olive-green and yellowish plumage. It can be elusive, so patience is key. Listen for its quiet calls, which can help pinpoint its location in dense foliage.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during local dry seasons when accessing its montane habitat might be easier.
