This character, however, is even more pronounced in the 
birds from the mountains of the Malay Peninsula, in which 
the white on the outer web of the outer tail feather extends 
considerably farther than in the Sumatran specimens. Those 
from Kinabalu in Northern Borneo are said to agree with the 
Himalayan birds. 
A scrub bird creeping about the lower branches of trees 
and flirting and expanding its tail like other species of the 
genus. We have, however, never seen it on the ground like its 
ally Rh. javanica, which is a garden and open-country bird 
never found in old jungle.

“Iris green, eye wattle smalt, bill cobalt, green inside, 
feet slate or lavender blue.” 
Being both immature males in the stage with short tails, 
these specimens are difficult to determine with any certainty. 
In the Malay Peninsula the Chinese species or race T. imcu 
(Gould) occurs during the winter months and Sharpe in the 
“Catalogue” also records it from Sumatra. From the large 
size of the bill and the absence of any maroon gloss from the 
mantle and in view of the date of capture it is improbable that 
these specimens are TJ. incii. Forbes records the white 
plumaged stage from the Dempo Volcano further to the south, 
but recent writers on Chinese ornithology have shown that the 
fully adult T. incit is white also, which at one time was 
thought not to be the case.
