A female observed in western Bhutan had conspicuous yellow-orange skin around the eye and a heavy yellowish bill.
That female was described with yellow-orange eye skin, a yellow bill, a white wing band, a grey-brown collar, and finely streaked dusky-brown underparts.
At about 3,000 m beside a forest road, it hopped on the ground and appeared to pick up seeds.
