The Black-necklaced Scimitar-babbler is a medium-sized babbler with rusty-red flanks, white underparts, a long decurved bill, and a distinctive dark necklace across the upper breast. It inhabits dense montane forests and bamboo thickets of Taiwan at elevations between 1,000 and 2,500 meters. It forages in dense undergrowth, probing leaf litter and bark with its curved bill for insects and invertebrates.
