Where to spot
Endemic to a small area of humid eastern rainforest in southeastern Madagascar, particularly around the Fanovana Forest.
How to spot
Requires dedicated searching in its specific humid forest habitat. Look for its active foraging in the undergrowth and mid-story. The rufous-red tail is the primary identifier. Listen for its short, sharp calls.

This species is named for its rufous-red tail, which contrasts with its otherwise drab plumage, a subtle but beautiful detail.
