Spotted
The Buff-faced Honeyeater is a relatively plain, small to medium-sized honeyeater found in the forests of New Guinea. It is characterized by its somewhat indistinct face and olive-brown plumage.
Where to spot
Found widely across the lowland and lower montane forests of New Guinea, including both Indonesian Papua and Papua New Guinea. It prefers primary and secondary forests, often near forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its olive-brown upperparts, paler underparts, and a subtle buffy wash on its face, which gives it its common name. Its movements can be rapid as it gleans insects from foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, foraging primarily for insects, but also nectar and small fruits. It is a resident species, observable year-round within its tropical forest habitat.

This species often joins mixed-species foraging flocks, moving through the canopy alongside other insectivorous birds, which can make it challenging to spot individually.
