A somewhat small woodland bird that moves rather deliberately as it feeds on fruits and flowers and the occasional insect.
Inhabits wide range of woodlands, though generally avoids mangroves. Male is dressed in bright yellows and oranges with a
distinctive black-and-white striped head. Female is drab, but note distinctive whitish mustache. Calls include a variety of high-
pitched squeaks and short whistles.
