ForestDomed nestTiny · 8 gID tip
The first bird sighted had prominent white arcs above and below the eyes, creating a broken eye-ring effect. The white throat was bordered by a diffuse dusky malar, merging into grey sides separated by a white stripe from the throat to the centre of the underparts. The upperparts were slate-grey. There were prominent, pure white pectoral tufts emerging from the carpal joints. The eyes, bill and legs were dark. Voice: Vocalisations heard include two very short, hard flight-notes, similar to those made by the fire-breasted flowerpecker, when an individual alighted and departed. Also, a well-marked putative male bird singing, with a series of about 12 high-pitched see notes, rising and then falling in pitch.
