The Pale-winged Berrypecker is a small, distinctive bird endemic to New Guinea, characterized by its olive-green plumage and a noticeable pale patch on its wings, particularly visible in flight. It is a member of the Melanocharitidae family.
Where to spot
Endemic to the lowland and hill rainforests of New Guinea, typically found up to around 1,500 meters, preferring the forest canopy and edges.
How to spot
Look for a small, olive-green bird. Pay attention to its wings, especially during flight, to spot the pale patch. It moves actively through the canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, often foraging in the upper canopy. Early mornings can be ideal for spotting.

The pale wing patch is a key identification feature for this otherwise cryptically colored forest bird, helping to distinguish it from similar species in its habitat.
