Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial [1].

Ecology: It inhabits lowland forests , generally below 1,000 m but occasionally up to 1,200 m. It probably frequents the understorey and appears to tolerate some habitat degradation, with records from disturbed forest and a clearing in selectively logged forest. Birds caught in August and September at Dalton Pass , Luzon, suggest that it may undertake intra-island movements, but possibly little more than post-breeding dispersal .
