Where to spot
Endemic to New Britain and possibly nearby smaller islands in the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea. Inhabits lowland and hill primary forests.

Males are easily identified by their bright yellow underparts, black head, and a distinctive black bib. Females are duller. Listen for its loud, clear, and melodious whistling songs.

Its unique black bib and isolated island distribution make it a particularly interesting species for studying island evolution and adaptation.
