How to spot
Look for its general olive-green coloration in montane forest canopies. Listen for its varied calls and songs, which can help differentiate it from similar species in the area.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident montane habitat. Active throughout daylight hours, often joining mixed-species flocks.
