A Bornean-endemic whistler with bright yellow underparts and olive-green upperparts, restricted to montane forest on the island's higher mountains.
Forages actively through the mid-storey and canopy for insects, often announcing its presence with a loud, clear whistled song before it is seen — typical of the whistler family.
