Spotted
The Yellow-gaped Honeyeater is a species of honeyeater found in New Guinea, characterized by a yellowish gape (mouth corner) and plain olive-brown plumage. It is typically a forest species.
Where to spot
Lowland and hill forests, including forest edges and disturbed areas, across New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for it foraging in the mid to upper canopy of humid forests. Its plain appearance means careful observation for movement is needed. Listen for its calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, generally more vocal in the mornings.
The yellow gape, which is particularly prominent in juveniles, likely plays a role in signaling to parents during feeding.
