This small bird lives in forests of the Taita Hills and Mount Kasigau in southeastern Kenya. Its white eyering and yellow brow stand out; it uses forest edges and gleans insects and small fruit.
About 11–11.3 cm long, with a broad white eyering, yellow brow, green upperparts, gray breast and belly, and greenish-yellow throat.
The study found more birds at forest edges than interiors; they gleaned insects and ate small fruit. Mount Kasigau held an estimated 80% at that time.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
