A tiny, short-tailed bird with drab olive-brown plumage, appearing very plump and wren-like in shape. It is highly secretive and difficult to observe in its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of tropical moist montane forests on the island of Luzon in the northern Philippines.
How to spot
Nearly impossible to see; primarily detected by its high-pitched, thin, and rather weak calls, which are often the only clue to its presence in the deep forest understory. Patience and good ears are essential.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during the day, but highly elusive. Breeding season details are not well documented.

Endemic to a single island, the Luzon Wren-Babbler is a species of particular conservation interest due to its restricted range and habitat specialization.
