Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The adult white-necked laughingthrush is about 32 cm (13 in) long and has a chestnut crown, a brownish-black face and throat and a rather diffuse white collar separating these from the body.
