Sedosito de Vogelkop Aethomyias rufescens

A very small, drab bird of montane forest understory on the Bird’s Head of New Guinea. Dull to warm brown upperparts, pale brown underparts and a thick, pale eye-ring. Moves in small groups or mixed species flocks, foraging for insects in the low to mid-levels of the forest. Similar to Large Scrubwren, but Vogelkop is smaller and lacks the rusty face. Call, a dry “chek” or nasal scolding “meh-meh-meh”.
