Rare and confined to heavily wooded forest trails where it can often be dismissed as a small C. orissa in flight. Unlike the larger and commoner Cirrochroas or Yeomans, this species is shy and do not stay long on open trails where they make occasional visits and darts back into the safety of the undergrowth once they sense the presence of human in the vicinity.
