Where to spot
Endemic to the New Georgia Group of islands in the Solomon Islands. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas, typically found in flowering trees.
How to spot
Identify by its small size, dusky body, and a subtle reddish wash on its head and throat, often less pronounced than other red-headed myzomelas. Its restricted endemic range is a key identification factor. Look for it actively feeding in flowering trees. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging for nectar and insects. As a resident species within its restricted island range, it can be observed year-round.
The New Georgia group is a cluster of islands known for its unique biodiversity, including several endemic bird species like this myzomela.
