Spotted
The White-bellied Shrikethrush is a distinctive songbird found in Papua New Guinea, recognized by its pale underparts. It typically inhabits lower montane forests and forest edges.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of New Guinea, primarily found in lower montane and hill forests, often favoring areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Identify by its greyish-brown upperparts contrasting with distinctively white or very pale underparts. Listen for its clear, melodious whistling calls, similar to other shrikethrushes but with unique phrasing.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when it is most active and vocal.
Its specific habitat preferences for higher altitudes differentiate it from some closely related lowland species, making it an indicator of certain forest types.
