The Marbled Wren-babbler is a rare and striking species, named for its beautifully marbled or mottled plumage. It is a highly secretive ground-dwelling bird of dense montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo, particularly in montane regions of Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) and Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). It prefers dense, humid evergreen forests with thick moss and ground cover.
How to spot
Observing this species is very challenging. Focus on listening for its distinctive, often deep and resonant, whistled calls. Look for a mottled brown bird moving quietly on the forest floor, often in dark, damp areas.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is extremely difficult to observe, but early mornings might offer the best chance for vocalizations.

The 'marbled' pattern on its back and wings is a unique characteristic, making it one of the most visually distinctive, albeit rarely seen, wren-babblers.
