Ford's Honeyeater is a proposed species or subspecies from New Guinea, often considered part of a complex of honeyeaters including the Spangled Honeyeater and potentially related to the Australian Lewin's Honeyeater.
Where to spot
Rainforests and forest edges in specific regions of New Guinea, where populations fitting its description occur.
How to spot
Look for medium-sized, drab olive-green honeyeaters in the mid to upper canopy. Identification would primarily rely on detailed studies of vocalizations and subtle plumage differences from related species.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, as with most honeyeaters.
The existence of this specific 'Ford's Honeyeater' highlights the extensive and complex biodiversity of New Guinea's avifauna, where many populations are still being studied for their distinctiveness.
