Identification
A small honeyeater of wooded habitats on New Guinea’s SE Islands. Dull brown color with streaky breast, pale throat and long, curved bill. Male has a thin, vertical, red line down its throat, and some areas, males lack the white throat. The only other myzomela in range is the Papuan Black Myzomela, but White-chinned has a streaked chest. Gives a rather jumbled, whistled song. Call, a simple high-pitch “chip”.
