This abundant species at Quoin Hill and Kalabakan was chiefly an
inhabitant of primary forest.
On July 31, I observed this species singing at Quoin Hill. One sang
with its mouth closed and sounded much farther away than it
actually was. The song has seven notes on a descending scale. Birds
observed on September 27 were in heavy molt and one specimen lacked
tail feathers.

The species was common at Kalabakan. Garcia took a few at Quoin
Hill, but I observed the species there only once.

August 4, 1962, MCT 2725; [Male], 27.2 gm., August 20, 1962, MCT 2783;
[Male], September 5, 1962, MCT 2872. 12 mi. N Kalabakan: [Female],

At Quoin Hill this was a bird of the primary forest. The species
was common in the moss forest above Tenom.
