It occurs in the foothills of the Himalayas from the Murree Hills in Pakistan to eastern Nepal. It inhabits subtropical and temperate forest at 245–2,750 m (804–9,022 ft) altitudes. It is terrestrial. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is biscuit-coloured, has a black chin and lores and a buffy grey crown. It is 10 cm (3.9 in) long and weighs 8–12 g (0.28–0.42 oz). It is omnivorous.

It was later placed in the genus Stachyridopsis.
