Endemic to the islands of Fiji, found in a wide range of wooded habitats from coastal forests to montane rainforests.
How to spot
Plumage varies considerably; look for yellow underparts, a black head with a white throat, or more uniform olive-grey variations depending on the island. Listen for its loud, clear, and varied whistling songs, a defining feature of the family.
