Red-collared Myzomela

A small honeyeater of montane forest. Male unmistakeable with a black hood, belly, wings and tail, and a bright red breast, back, rump and collar. Female mainly brown (olive green in some areas), with a black throat, and reduced red on the chest and rump. The only myzomela at high elevations, but co-occurs with other species at middle elevations. Males are distinctive, this is the only female myzomela with a red chest and rump. An energetic and variable song, including up-and-down “tweepy-tweepy-tweepy” phrases with slightly electronic-sounding notes.
