The New Guinea Thrush is a mid-sized thrush native to New Guinea and nearby islands. It typically has a brownish-russet back and scaled underparts, blending well with the forest environment.
Where to spot
Rainforests and montane forests of New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and parts of the Solomon Islands.
How to spot
Look on the forest floor in dense, humid forests. It is often secretive, so quiet movement and listening for rustling in the leaf litter are good strategies.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon.
