The Manus Shrikethrush is a distinctive and poorly known songbird endemic to Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Its dark plumage helps it remain inconspicuous in its forest habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to Manus Island in the Admiralty Islands of Papua New Guinea. Inhabits lowland and hill primary forests, as well as secondary growth.
How to spot
Its dark, almost uniform dusky-brown plumage is a key identifier. Listen for its strong, whistling calls, characteristic of shrikethrushes, which may help in locating this often secretive bird.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Limited information on specific observation times, but like most passerines, it's likely most active during early morning and late afternoon.

This species is a prime example of island endemism, with its entire population confined to a single island, making it particularly vulnerable to habitat loss.
