How to spot
Requires patience and observation in dense montane forests. Look for its mottled, cryptic plumage as it forages among leaves and branches. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls. It can be elusive.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its montane habitat. Can be difficult to observe due to its secretive nature.
