This bushshrike lives in savanna and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. It has a yellow face and belly with an orange breast, and gleans arthropods from foliage in the canopy.
It is about 16–18 cm long. The forehead, eyebrow, throat, and belly are yellow, while the breast is orange.
It perches in the canopy of savanna and woodland and gleans arthropods from leaves and branches. It is usually alone or in pairs and can be easier to hear than to see.
In southern Africa, both sexes build a shallow cup of fine twigs, rootlets, leaf stalks and grass, placed on horizontal branches, forks or tangles of creepers.
In southern Africa, recorded foods include beetles, caterpillars, mantids, wasps, bees and ants.
