Females are dull yellow-green above and dingy yellow below. Montserrat Orioles are larger than warblers, vireos, and tanagers and they have a long, relatively thick-based and sharply tipped bill. No similar species occur within its range. Vocalizations include loud whistles and harsh chrrrr-like calls.

Phyllastrephus scandens

A large and relatively colorful greenbul of humid forests. The back is rusty-brown, the underparts buffy, the tail brick red, the head mostly gray, and the throat white. Found in rainforest, swamp forest, and gallery forest, mostly in wet areas near water, usually in small groups that vocalize frequently. The vocalizations, often given in chorus, are a series of gabbling “chowp” notes and a faster, babbler-like series. The voice can be very similar to those of Yellow-throated and Swamp Greenbuls.
