To identify the White-bellied Pitohui, look for its unique combination of a white underbelly and mottled brown upperparts. This bird may also be referred to by alternate names such as the Brown Pitohui, Mottle-breasted Pitohui, Mottled Pitohui, or White-bellied Shrike-thrush.

Habitat

The White-bellied Pitohui is found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps, where it thrives in the dense foliage.

Distribution

This species is endemic to the lowlands of southern New Guinea, ranging from the Lorentz River to the upper Fly River.

Conservation Status

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!
