Arfak Kedikuşu Ailuroedus arfakianus

A large, chunky, skulking bird of foothill and lower montane forest on the Bird’s Head. Black on the rear crown, cheek and back of the neck, interspersed with off-white flecking and a large white crescent behind the cheek. Black throat and chest patterned with neat arrowheads blending to diffuse spots on the belly. Often feeds on fallen fruits on the ground. May overlap with White-eared Catbird, but Arfak is usually found at higher elevation, is larger and has a distinctive black cheek. Call, a tuneless up and down, catlike warble.
