One of Borneo's most enigmatic birds, a dark babbler with a bold black eyebrow, known from only a handful of specimens and rediscovered alive after more than a century without confirmed sightings.
Classed as Near-threatened, though its true status remains poorly understood given how few records exist; almost nothing is documented about its breeding biology or ecology in the wild.
