It is chestnut-brown with a greyish face and underparts, and is long. It feeds on small Coleoptera beetles, Phasmida insects, ants, and Hemiptera bugs.[1] Its foraging strategy is gleaning.[2]
Timalia erythroptera was the scientific name proposed by Edward Blyth in 1842 for an olive-brown babbler from Nepal.[3] It was later placed in the genus Stachyris, but since 2020 is recognised as a Cyanoderma species.[4] [1] The grey-hooded babbler (C. bicolor) of Borneo was formerly considered conspecific.[5]
