Where to spot
Endemic to Vanua Levu Island, Fiji, found in rainforests, particularly in the Natewa Peninsula.
How to spot
Distinguish from the Taveuni Silktail by its slightly smaller white rump patch and geographical location. Look for its glossy black plumage and unique tail structure as it moves through dense foliage.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often foraging in the understory.
