This long-tailed bird has blue plumage. It searches for food in small groups along forest edges and in dense undergrowth.
The male is deep blue with a pale blue crown and dark blue face mask. The female has rufous-brown upperparts, a white breast, and a long cocked tail.
It lives in lowland and foothill forest edges and thickets, where it forages in small groups through thick undergrowth.
It gleans small arthropods from leaves, palm fronds and branches, usually close to the ground.
One nest made of strips of fern and leaves, with a side entrance, was found in a bush about 1 m above the ground. It contained four chicks.
Immatures resemble females but have a dusky-black head, rusty-brown upperparts and entirely white underparts.
