The Rufous-naped Whistler is a distinct and somewhat elusive bird found in the mountains of New Guinea, characterized by a rufous patch on its nape. It inhabits high-altitude forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea, typically found at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its olive-brown upperparts, paler underparts, and the distinctive rufous patch on the nape (back of the neck). Listen for its loud, clear, and complex whistling song, characteristic of high-altitude whistlers.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during early mornings and late afternoons, particularly during the breeding season.

The rufous nape patch is a key distinguishing feature, helping to differentiate it from other subtly plumaged whistlers in New Guinea's montane regions.
