This species prefers pine trees and shrubs in the mountain forests.

A brilliant yellow-orange neck and chin in combination with the same bright feathers on the wings create one of the most colorful and chubby representatives of the babbler family.

The Leiothrichidae family includes the red-billed leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea).

Adult males reach six inches in length and have red beaks with a weak yellow ring around the eyes.

They often have olive-green color, yellow neck and orange breast color.

The edges of its feathers on the wings are brightly painted in yellow, orange, red and black color, and the tail is bifurcated with an olive-brown color with a black tip.
