A rare and accidental migrant to Borneo, breeding in East Asia and normally wintering closer to mainland Southeast Asia, with olive-yellow plumage streaked darker above.
Skulking and easily overlooked in dense scrub and forest undergrowth, its occasional appearance in Borneo likely reflects an occasional off-course migrant during passage.
