How to spot
Requires patience. Look for movement in dense, dark undergrowth. It often forages on the ground. Listen for its soft, clear song and calls, which are distinctive in its shola habitat.
When to spot
A resident species, observed year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon when it forages. Breeding season is typically from March to May.

This elusive robin is a habitat specialist, preferring the dense, humid undergrowth of high-altitude evergreen forests known as 'sholas', making it a key indicator species for this unique ecosystem.
