Description
The male and female pale-yellow robin are similar in plumage. Measuring 12–13.5 centimetres (4.7–5.3 in) and weighing 15–18 grams (0.53–0.63 oz), it is a bird of subdued appearance, with grey head and nape blending into olive-green upperparts, more brownish on the wings and tail. The throat is white, and the lores are off-white in the southern race and buff in the northern race. The breast and belly are yellow. The legs are yellow-orange and the iris dark brown. The thin black bill is around 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long. Juvenile birds are rufous with paler streaks on the head. It can be distinguished from the eastern yellow robin, as the latter bird has black legs and is a little larger. The pale-yellow robin makes a trilling call when displaying or defending its territory.

Feeding Habits
Pale-yellow Robin primarily consumes insects and small invertebrates, supplemented occasionally by seeds. It forages from lower to middle forest layers, usually pouncing on prey from perches below 10 meters, and employs gleaning and occasional aerial sallying.
Habitat
Pale-yellow Robin typically inhabits rainforests and adjacent dense, moist eucalypt forests, flourishing in areas replete with lawyer-vine (Calamus). This species prefers lower altitudes, from sea level up to 1500 meters, but it is more abundant at the lower spectrum of this range. The general habitat spans a broad region, primarily consisting of verdant, humid forest environments.
