The Rufous-naped Bellbird is a vibrant and distinctive songbird found in New Guinea, characterized by its bright rufous nape and strong, melodic calls. It is an active inhabitant of the forest understory and mid-story.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Guinea, inhabiting montane rainforests, typically in the mid-story and understory, often along forest edges and clearings.
How to spot
Listen for its strong, whistled and melodious calls. Look for its distinctive rufous nape and bright plumage as it moves through the forest undergrowth or mid-story. It can be quite shy.
When to spot
Active year-round in its tropical montane habitat. Most vocal in the early mornings, which provides the best chance for detection.

While also known as a 'bellbird,' its calls are more varied and melodic compared to the 'ventriloquial' ringing of its Australian relatives, though still quite striking.
