Appearance[]
The gloom of the forest may make this small songbird of dense montane forests and edges appear dark, but a bit of sunlight reveals a gloriously colorful plumage, with subtle patches of olive, blue, yellow, orange, and chestnut.
Behavior[]
This small bird is social, moving about in pairs or flocks, often emerging out into the open when gaps in the vegetation are present.
Sounds[]
The Steere's Liocicha's song begins with a whistled introduction, then breaks into harsher, sharp jangled notes. Its calls are low and raspy.
