The Barred Cuckooshrike is an attractive species found across Australasia, known for its finely barred underparts. Males are typically grey with barring, while females can be more brownish.
Where to spot
Inhabits rainforests, wet sclerophyll forests, and adjacent woodlands across eastern Australia, New Guinea, and some surrounding islands.
How to spot
Scan the mid-levels of the forest canopy. Look for the fine barring on the belly, which is a key identification feature. Listen for its distinctive, often trilling calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen singly or in pairs moving through the mid-canopy. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

The barring on its underparts provides excellent camouflage among the dappled light of the forest canopy, making it surprisingly hard to spot despite its size.
