This magpie lives in Borneo's montane forests. Its light-green plumage, black eye-band, and reddish-chestnut wings stand out as it searches dense undergrowth for snails and insects.
The plumage is light green, with a yellower crown and underparts. A black band runs from the bill over the eye to the nape; the wings are reddish-chestnut and the bill is red.
It inhabits dense montane forest and forages in the undergrowth. Snails, insects, and larvae are recorded foods, although the overall diet is poorly known.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
