“Tris chestnut, orbital skin greenish, bill bluish white, 
horny white at tip, feet greenish slate.” 
Very common in pairs in heavy forest on high trees up to 
about 5,000 feet. A very noisy bird, yelling vociferously when 
alarmed and dodging round the tree trunks with great agility. 
A very distinct species, perhaps nearest to C. wrayt of the 
mountains of the Malay Peninsula from which it differs in 
both sexes in lacking all white on the throat, in having the 
under surface greener, less greyish and the upper surface 
much more golden, less grassy, green. The yellow of the 
malar stripe in the male has a strong ochreous tinge, whereas 
in C. wrayt it is a pure pale citron yellow. The bill in the 
Sumatran species is also much paler.
