Only one specimen of this species was obtained, and that was killed while perched upon 

 some brushwood frrowins: near the edge of a small stream to the northward of Kurrichane. In 

 its habits it resembled the species already described, and, at the time it was shot, it was moving 

 quickly about among the branches apparently in quest of its food, which was found to consist 

 of insects.
