Narrative:
I was PF (pilot flying) during a visual approach to boi 28R backed up by the ILS in VMC conditions. We were cleared for the visual and turned base inside zixip. I was descending to catch the glideslope; which was below us. At this time; I called for the landing checklist. I became too distracted by items on the landing checklist; and allowed the airplane to descend below glideslope and continue descending. The egpws [had] an amber terrain caution message; not a red terrain warning message. I leveled the airplane to maintain altitude; and the caution message went away. I then intercepted the glideslope from that altitude. I continued to a landing in boi without any additional incidents.if I had stayed 'heads up' while descending; I would have easily intercepted the glideslope from above. While responding to the landing checklist; I should have stayed heads up; instead of becoming fixated on gear; flaps; etc. I should have allowed the pm (pilot monitoring) to focus on those items; which I could have easily verified after intercepting the glideslope and becoming stable. Another option would have been to call for the landing checklist after intercepting the glideslope and becoming stable.

Title: Medium Transport First Officer reported receiving an EGPWS warning on approach to BOI airport.
Narrative: I was PF (Pilot Flying) during a visual approach to BOI 28R backed up by the ILS in VMC conditions. We were cleared for the visual and turned base inside ZIXIP. I was descending to catch the glideslope; which was below us. At this time; I called for the Landing Checklist. I became too distracted by items on the Landing Checklist; and allowed the airplane to descend below glideslope and continue descending. The EGPWS [had] an amber terrain caution message; not a red terrain warning message. I leveled the airplane to maintain altitude; and the caution message went away. I then intercepted the glideslope from that altitude. I continued to a landing in BOI without any additional incidents.If I had stayed 'heads up' while descending; I would have easily intercepted the glideslope from above. While responding to the Landing Checklist; I should have stayed heads up; instead of becoming fixated on gear; flaps; etc. I should have allowed the PM (Pilot Monitoring) to focus on those items; which I could have easily verified after intercepting the glideslope and becoming stable.
