Habitat:
It is an elusive resident of primary and secondary forest where it is more often heard than seen. While it has been recorded to sea-level, its maximum elevation is unknown (Bishop and van Balen 2023, eBird 2023). It feeds on the ground where it hops and takes short flights.
Range:
This species is endemic to the twin-islands of Biak-Supiori in Geelvink Bay, West Papua, Indonesia.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
The species is assumed to be present in the 110 km2 Biak-Utara protected area and throughout the 420 km2 Pulau Supiori Nature Reserve (UNEP-WCMC 2021a,b), both of which comprise virtually impenetrable limestone areas (Wikramanayake et al. 2002).
Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct surveys on both islands to establish its current distribution, population status and assess its habitat requirements. Afford formal protection to further key sites where appropriate.
