The Yellow-bellied Flyrobin (Microeca flavigaster) is a small passerine bird found in Australia. It is characterized by its olive-brown upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinctive white patch on the wings. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense undergrowth of eucalypt forests and woodlands. The Yellow-bellied Flyrobin primarily feeds on insects and spiders, foraging in the mid to upper levels of the forest.
