EBird describes the bird as "A small drab bird of dense undergrowth within open montane forest in northern Luzon. Warm brown on the upper parts and crown with a dark eye-stripe and pale brown underparts blending to a pale gray chest and whitish throat. Similar to Long-tailed bush warbler, but tail shorter and underparts grayish rather than deep brown. Also similar to Benguet bush warbler, but has a more distinct pale eyebrow. Song consists of a drawn-out low whistle followed by an explosive whistled phrase. Call is a sharp 'tsik!'"[3]
