Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, inhabiting montane forests, typically at mid to high elevations. It prefers dense undergrowth and mossy forest habitats.
How to spot
Look for its small size and subtle streaking. It tends to be quiet and inconspicuous, often perching within dense foliage. Listening for its soft, high-pitched calls may be the best way to detect it.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is most active in the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects among the foliage.
