It inhabits montane forest interiors where it forages for fruit and invertebrates. Its restricted range and ongoing forest loss in Mindanao pose ongoing threats to the species.

Weighing about 61g with a wingspan near 24.6cm, it has uniform grey-brown plumage lacking the iridescence typical of many starlings. It feeds on fruit and insects and often moves in small flocks.
