Adolphine's Myzomela is a small, relatively plain honeyeater endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands. It is characterized by its dull olive-brown plumage and preference for humid forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands, specifically found on Timor and Wetar. It inhabits humid evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Identify by its small size, olive-brown upperparts, grayish-white underparts, and slender, decurved bill. Its plain appearance distinguishes it from more brightly colored myzomelas. Look for its active movements in flowering canopy. Listen for high-pitched, reedy calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, foraging for nectar and small insects. It is a resident species, observable year-round within its island habitats.
