Males and females have different plumage: males are black-and-pale-grey barred, while females are rufous. Pairs move through low trees in search of small arthropods.
The male is barred black and pale grey, with a black crest. The female is rufous, with dark streaks on the head and a rufous crest.
Pairs move from branch to branch in low trees while searching for small arthropods. In the breeding season, males sing and display by raising the crest and stretching the tail.
