How to spot
Look for its relatively plain olive-brown upperparts and duller, sometimes buffy, underparts, lacking any striking patterns. Listen for its powerful, whistled calls, which are typical of the whistler family.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, but can be heard throughout the year.
