Yellow-breasted Boatbill

Machaerirhynchus flaviventer

Least Concern

The Yellow-breasted Boatbill is a broad-billed forest flycatcher-like bird that takes insects from leaves and branches 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.
