Spotted
The Green-backed Shrikethrush is a beautifully colored bird found in the montane forests of New Guinea, characterized by its olive-green upperparts. It is known for its rich, melodious calls that echo through the forest.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane rainforests of New Guinea, typically found at higher elevations.
How to spot
Identify by its olive-green back and greyish head, contrasting with a paler belly. Listen for its loud, clear, and often flute-like whistling song, which is a key way to locate this forest dweller.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its specific habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season, but can be heard throughout the year.
Unlike some of its plainer relatives, its greenish plumage provides excellent camouflage amongst the lush, mossy vegetation of its high-altitude habitat.
