Warm brown above and on the belly, with a white throat and a faintly streaked grayish chest.

Similar to Long-tailed Bush-Warbler, but has shorter tail and grayish rather than deep brown underparts.

Song is a sequence of piercing and grating ringing notes repeated at regular intervals.

[3] It is found to steep grass valleys in montane areas from 800 to 1,800 meters above sea level.

There is a need for surveys to determine whether this species is rare and possibly threatened or whether it is just widely overlooked.
