Where to spot
Restricted to remaining patches of lowland and montane forests on Mindoro, Philippines, often found in humid evergreen forests.
How to spot

When to spot
Due to its rarity, observation can be challenging but is most likely during early morning or late afternoon feeding. Efforts are focused on conservation rather than general observation.
