Spotted
The Green-backed Myzomela is a small honeyeater endemic to the island of Seram in Indonesia. It is characterized by its dusky plumage with a distinct olive-green wash on its back.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Seram in the Moluccas, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland and montane rainforests, forest edges, and often visits flowering trees in disturbed areas.
How to spot
Look for its small size, dusky head and underparts, and the noticeable olive-green wash on its back and wings. It actively probes flowers and gleans insects from foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, primarily feeding on nectar, but also small insects. As a resident species, it can be observed year-round within its island habitat.
