Symposiachrus leucurus

The White-rumped Robin is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of New Guinea. It is characterized by its distinctive white rump and black and white plumage. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. White-rumped Robins forage on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates, using their sharp bills to probe the leaf litter. They are known to be territorial and often perch on low branches or stumps while singing. The species is not currently considered to be at risk, but habitat loss and degradation may pose future threats.
