The Rufous-throated Bronze-cuckoo is a small, iridescent cuckoo found in the montane forests of New Guinea. It is characterized by its bronzy-green upperparts, iridescent bars on its underparts, and a diagnostic rufous throat. This colorful species is often heard before it is seen.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the montane rainforests and forest edges of the New Guinea highlands.
How to spot
Look for its small size, iridescent green upperparts, and crucially, the rufous (reddish-brown) throat patch. Its calls, often a repeated 'swee-swee-swee' or 'dee-dee-dee', can help locate this often inconspicuous bird in dense foliage.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its highland forest habitat.
