Their wings are duskier olive-brown with two faint wing bars and rufous edges on the primaries. Their tail is browner than the upperparts with rufous edges on all the feathers except the outermost pair, which have paler edges. Their throat and underparts are mostly grayish with a pale dingy yellowish belly and a rusty tinge on the flanks. Voice: The pale-bellied mourner's song is "2 well-separated Réet-je notes" whose Réet is much higher than the je.
