Pilotbird

Pycnoptilus floccosus

Vulnerable

The Pilotbird is a small Australasian insectivore that searches foliage, bark, and low cover for tiny arthropods in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. 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.
