Kühn's Myzomela is a small, dark honeyeater endemic to the remote island of Kai Besar in Indonesia. It is characterized by its dusky plumage and specific island distribution.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Kai Besar (also known as Nuhu Yut) in the Kai Islands, part of the Moluccas, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas.
How to spot
Identify by its small size, dark, dusky brownish-black plumage, and slender, decurved bill. Its restricted endemic range is a key identification factor. Look for it actively feeding in flowering trees. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging for nectar and insects. As a resident species within its very limited island range, it can be observed year-round.
