The Papuan whipbird (Androphobus viridis) is a little-known and unobtrusive species of
monotypic within the genus Androphobus.[2] It is found in Western New Guinea
.
It is currently
Least concern.[3] This is probably due to the fact that it is very secretive, and, despite not being too restricted, thinly spread throughout its range; it is likely to be overlooked unless singing. It is apparently insectivorous.[4]
Description
This species is 16–17 cm (6.3–6.7 in), making it significantly smaller than Australian whipbirds. Males have a moustachial white stripe and black throat while females are all moss green. Juveniles are darker green with blackish faces and underparts.[5]
Habitat
It lives in
ornithologists. Specimens were collected in the Snow Mountains, along with other mountainous areas around the Pegunungan Makoke; despite being recorded at only seven sites, it is likely that this species occurs far more widely.[4]
