Where to spot
Endemic to Makira Island in the Solomon Islands, inhabiting lowland and hill forests.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive hooting calls. Spotting is challenging in dense island forests; use a powerful spotlight to scan tree branches and dense foliage.

This owl is characterized by its somewhat rose-tinted underwing coverts, a subtle but beautiful feature that contributes to its specific epithet and unique appearance.
