It is 12 cm long and weighs 9–12 g, and its song is a high-pitched tuh tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh. It occurs in the Eastern Himalayan foothills, Myanmar, Thailand, northern Indochina and south to the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, and the buff-chested babbler is now subsumed into this species (Wikipedia, general species account).
