The back is rich chestnut brown; the underside varies from dark brown to brownish buff. The tail is black, the ears lack tufts, and the back and nape bear a stripe and patches.
It is diurnal. It has been recorded in primary and secondary forest up to 1,000 m, as well as in plantations and gardens. The monograph says it is found mostly in dwindling old-growth lowland tropical rainforest.
