A dainty, long-tailed minivet, males grey above with orange-red rump and underparts, females duller with yellow-orange tones, typically encountered in small active parties in open and semi-open country.
Forages for insects among foliage and twigs at low to mid levels, calling with thin, high-pitched notes as the flock keeps in contact while moving between trees.
