Tanda lapangan kunci

• Underpart Streaking. Look for distinct, relatively broad grey-brown streaks on the throat, breast, and flanks against a whitish background. This is the most reliable field mark.
• Eye-ring and Loral Stripe. Note the prominent pale eye-ring and the pale stripe extending from the base of the bill to the eye (loral stripe). These contrast with the darker head.
• Upperparts. Observe the plain, uniform grey-brown upperparts, lacking any strong patterns or colors.
• Posture and Behavior. Watch for its characteristic upright posture on a perch and its habit of sallying out to catch insects in flight.
• Wing-bars. Look for two indistinct pale wing-bars on the dark wings, though these can be subtle.
