The Uncertain Cicadabird is a species from the cuckooshrike family, named for its formerly ambiguous taxonomic status. It is a canopy-dwelling bird, typically found foraging for insects in tropical forests.
Where to spot
Found in scattered populations across New Guinea and parts of northern Australia. It typically inhabits lowland rainforests and mature secondary forests, favoring the upper canopy.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized, somewhat plain bird in the upper canopy. Listen carefully for its calls, which can be the most reliable way to locate this often inconspicuous species. Patience and good optics are key.
When to spot
Active throughout the year in its tropical habitat. Observation is generally best during the early morning hours when birds are most vocal and active.

The common name 'Uncertain Cicadabird' reflects the challenges ornithologists sometimes face in classifying and distinguishing certain species, especially those with subtle plumage differences or restricted ranges.
