A shy, long-legged terrestrial flycatcher-like bird restricted to the mountains of Sulawesi. Male is largely dark blue with a blacker face. Female shows a diagnostic white smudge between the eye and bill, but forms differ in underparts coloration: in southeast females show a rufous throat and breast, central females have rufous limited to the throat, and northern ones have a rusty throat and breast. Juveniles are brownish-blue with pale throat streaking. Inhabits montane forest understory, on or close to the ground, often near rocky streamsides. Song is a lazy, thrush-like, melancholy warble comprising several quavering notes.
