Where to spot
Found on New Guinea and some adjacent islands, inhabiting lowland and hill rainforests, often in the mid-story and understory.
How to spot

When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon when light conditions are optimal for spotting its colors.
