This highland bird has gray-brown plumage, a white eyebrow and belly, and a soft orange wash on the chest. It often searches for food on the ground, and the male's song is another feature.
The back is gray-brown, the face is dark, and the eyebrow and belly are white. A soft orange wash colors the throat and breast.
It often forages on the ground in open alpine and subalpine areas. A male may perch on a small tree or building to sing.
