POWERED BY MERLIN

A fairly large bird of lowland and foothill primary and secondary forest. Rusty brown color, paler below and darker above with a white eye. Races differ. Northwestern birds more rusty with a yellow bill and others less rusty with a black bill. Similar to several other rusty-colored birds, like Piping Bellbird, Papuan Babbler or some female cicadabirds, but note the white eye. Voice, varied and forceful, whistled song often including “woo-pat!” notes.
