Green-backed Gerygone

Gerygone chloronota

Least Concern

The Green-backed Gerygone is a small canopy and edge insectivore that gleans leaves and twigs with quick, delicate movements in New Guinea. 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.
