White-winged Robin

Peneothello sigillata

The White-winged Robin (Peneothello sigillata) is a small passerine bird native to the forests and woodlands of New Guinea and nearby islands. This species is characterized by its striking black and white plumage, with a white wing patch that is prominent in flight. White-winged Robins forage for insects and small invertebrates on the forest floor, using their sharp bills to probe leaf litter and soil. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, which they use to establish territories and attract mates. The White-winged Robin is generally found in dense undergrowth and forest edges, and is often associated with mossy and humid environments.
