It is a very distinctive medium-sized yellow bird with a black head and breast, black flight feathers, and a peach-colored bill, and red eyes. In-flight, the black band towards the tail tip is visible. The female bird is drabber with greenish underparts, darker bill but still has the black hood. Juvenile bird is duller overall with a white-streaked throat and a black bill like female ones.
The birds often found on fruiting trees, especially on figs in wooded gardens, groves, moist-deciduous stands and open forests. Its food includes insects and fruits, especially figs. The birds spend much of their time on tree canopies. While foraging the species uses foliage-gleening, wood-gleening, or sallying methods. The song is rich, fluty, and mellow. Calls include raspy, nasal notes that can sound like a croak. The breeding season is from March to June; the nest is built in a tree, usually at the tip of branches and contains two eggs.
