How to spot
Listen for its loud and distinctive song. This species is very skulking, so finding a vantage point and listening intently is crucial, as visual identification is difficult.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its restricted island habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season.

Its prominent supercilium (eyebrow stripe) is a key visual identification feature, helping to distinguish it from other tesias where ranges overlap.
