The nearest ally of this species is C. concolor (Terara.). 



We found this bird frequenting the thickets at the base of 

 the hills and generally in the vicinity of villages. Skulking 

 in habits, it is more often heard than seen, uttering its 

 plaintive notes — a " wheet" "whect" several times repeated. 



Named after Mr. Ogilvic-Grant.
