Adult. Iris yellow, dirty yellow or pale hazel ; bill yellow, 

 blackish towards the base of the culmen ; feet blackish. 



Immature. Iris dark brown -, bill as in the adult, but 

 lemon-yellow at the gape ; feet sooty-grey. 



This very distinct species of Pomatorhinus was described 

 from Dorei. Though so different in coloration and general 

 appearance from other species of the group, it resembles 

 P. montanus, the type of the genus, in general structure. 



Young birds resemble the adult in colour, but may be 

 recognised by their shorter bill and by the more downy 

 quality of the feathers of the underparts, especially on the 

 thighs and vent. 



" This striking Babbler was only observed on the upper 

 reaches of the rivers, where it was usually seen in small 

 parties in the larger trees. It has a weak flight and a rather 

 loud call-note."— C.i^.i?. G.
