Mostly rich orange-yellow with black throat and chest, wings, and tail. In many individuals, the yellow areas adjacent to the black bib are more or less tinged with brown.
Habitat
Fairly common in forest and woodland borders and clearings.
Habits and Behavior
Often in pairs or small family groups. The song is a series of four to eight loud clear musical whistles moving in a disconnected manner up and down so that it sounds off-key. The usual call is a teea, cheep-chee, cheep (the cheep's nasal); also has a part-chatter, part buzzy whistle kzwee-kzwee-kzwee-kzwee-kzwee and a nasal nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh.
