The Black-and-yellow Broadbill is a small bird with a bright blue bill and bold black, white, yellow, and pink plumage. It catches insects by sallying from a perch in forest midlevels and canopy.
It has a broad blue bill, black head, white throat band, pale pink breast, and yellow belly and wing bands. The female's throat band is broken at the center.
It forages for insects in the middle and upper levels of lowland and hill forests. It often joins mixed-species flocks and may sally out from a perch to catch prey.
