Its natural habitat is forests about 1,000–2,000 m in elevation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as a least-concern species. The grey-chinned minivet is 17–19 cm long and weighs 11–17 g. It is sexually dimorphic. The adult male has a dark grey head and mantle, a pale grey chin, an orange-yellow throat and blackish wings.
