A ground-nesting owl of tall grassland and reed beds, dark golden-buff above with a pale heart-shaped facial disc, roosting in tunnels trodden through dense vegetation.
Hunts low over open grass at dusk for rats and other small mammals, and is a scarce and local species in Borneo, tied to the region's shrinking grassland habitats.
