Buff-faced Scrubwren

Aethomyias perspicillatus

Least Concern

The Buff-faced Scrubwren is a small understorey insectivore of dense forest, scrub, or montane thickets 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.
