Lesser Ground Robin

Amalocichla incerta

The Lesser Ground Robin, scientifically known as Amalocichla incerta, is a modestly sized bird measuring 15 cm in length. Its plumage is a study in understatement, with dark brown upperparts that contrast subtly with the paler hues of its underparts, and a striking white throat that stands out against the more muted tones of its feathers.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this species, look for its relatively small stature and the distinctive white throat. The contrast between the dark brown upperparts and paler underparts is also a key characteristic to observe.

Habitat

The Lesser Ground Robin is a denizen of New Guinea, where it makes its home.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Lesser Ground Robin as being of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This suggests that, for now, the species is not at immediate risk of decline.

Distribution

This species is endemic to the island of New Guinea, where it can be found in its natural habitat.

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

Friendly and helps to identify birds
Great birding app, good for logging your sightings, also has nice species guide. I'm enjoying the social aspect more than I expected, everyone seems friendly and helps to identify unknown birds. Good mix of newbies and experienced users.
