The smallest of the minivets, the male has a slaty gray crown, cheeks, and back with black throat & wings, a black tail with pale yellow edges. The breast is orange, gradually fading into yellowish-white underparts. They are usually seen in small flocks, frequently uttering high-pitched calls as they continuously move around feeding on insects, sometimes catching them mid-air like flycatchers. They inhabit various forested habitats, especially thorny jungles, scrub patches, and open dry forest.
