White-winged Robin

Peneothello pulverulenta

The White-winged Robin (Peneothello pulverulenta) is a small passerine bird native to the forests of New Guinea. This species is known for its striking black and white plumage, with a distinctive white wing patch that contrasts with the dark body. The White-winged Robin is a shy and elusive bird, often foraging on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. It has a melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate with other individuals in its dense forest habitat. This species is not currently considered to be at risk, but deforestation and habitat loss are potential threats to its long-term survival.
