This tiny warbler was moving on the ground and catching small spiders and
insects. It was moving beside two Orange-headed Thrushes and a Forest Wagtail. Its movement was like a thrush but attitude was like warbler. It would fly close to the ground for a short distance like 8-10ft when disturbed. - SD
