Papuan Whipbird

Androphobus viridis

Least Concern

The Papuan Whipbird is a secretive scrub bird known for carrying calls and ground-level foraging 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.
