A striking montane scops owl with prominent ear-tufts and richly patterned rufous-brown plumage, found in hill and mountain forest on Borneo and Sumatra.
Vocal and territorial at night, giving a deep, resonant hooting call, it is one of the specialty owls sought by birders on highland trips into Borneo's interior ranges.
