Rufous-sided Gerygone

Gerygone dorsalis

Least Concern

The Rufous-sided 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.
