First observed in 2014 and only formally described in 2021, this small, long-tailed bird has only been found in cloud forests at 900-1500 meters in the Kumawa and Fakfak Mountains of West Papua. Male is glossy dark blue above and gleaming white below (faint yellow wash sometimes visible); compare with male Fan-tailed Berrypecker, which has grayish underparts. Female has not been definitively described, but individuals provisionally ascribed to female Satins have been olive above and dingy grayish with faint streaks below. Foraging behavior is still poorly understood, but has been seen joining mixed flocks and foraging in areas with tree-ferns and epiphytic growth in middle levels of forest. Vocalizations largely unknown.
