Black-capped Robin
The Black-capped Robin is a small, montane robin-flycatcher endemic to the mountains of southeastern New Guinea, with males displaying a bold black cap contrasting with orange-buff underparts and dark wings. It inhabits montane forests in the Owen Stanley Range and surrounding mountains. It forages in the forest understory and on the ground, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates.
