Spotted
The Bismarck Myzomela is a small honeyeater endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago. It is a relatively drab species compared to its more colorful relatives, often found in a variety of forest habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago, including New Britain, New Ireland, and smaller surrounding islands of Papua New Guinea. It inhabits forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas from lowlands to mountains.
How to spot
A small, unassuming myzomela with a blackish head, pale throat, and olive-brown body. It can be challenging to distinguish from similar drab myzomelas where ranges overlap. Look for its active movements among flowering trees and listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging for nectar, small insects, and fruit. It is a resident species, observable year-round within its island habitats.

This myzomela's generic name, Myzomela, literally means 'sucking honey' (from Greek), aptly describing its primary feeding behavior.
