Brown-breasted Gerygone

Gerygone ruficollis

Least Concern

The Brown-breasted Gerygone is a small canopy and edge insectivore that gleans leaves and twigs with quick, delicate movements in New Guinea highlands. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
