The Rufous-sided Scrubwren is a small, relatively plain scrubwren endemic to New Guinea. It is distinguished by its subtle rufous wash on the flanks, blending into its olive-brown upperparts. This species is found in montane forests, often foraging quietly in the dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea, typically found at elevations between 1,500 to 2,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for the subtle rufous wash on its flanks, which can be hard to spot in dim light. Listen for its soft, whispering calls. It is a shy species, requiring patience and quiet observation in dense undergrowth.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its montane forest habitat. Active during daylight hours.
Its muted coloration provides effective camouflage as it moves through the dense, shadowy forest understory.
