Australasian Figbird
Sphecotheres vieillotiSubspecies S. v. salvadorii, illustration by John Gerrard Keulemans Keulemans, 1877 The Australasian Figbird (Sphecotheres vieilloti) is a conspicuous medium-sized passerine bird native to a wide range of wooded habitats in northern and eastern Australia, southern Papua New Guinea, and the Kai Islands in Indonesia.
The Australasian Figbird has a total length of 27-29,5 cm (10½-11½ in), In the nominate subspecies, the body is largely olive-green, and the throat, neck and chest are grey. The subspecies cucullatus, ashbyi and flaviventris are yellowish olive-green above, and bright yellow below (including throat). The last subspecies, salvadorii, resembles previous, but with a grey throat, collar and chest similar to the nominate subspecies,Coates, B. J., & W. S. Peckover. (2001). Birds of New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. Dove Publications. ISBN 0-9590257-4-X thereby giving it an intermediate appearance not unlike some hybrid between nominate and flaviventris in Australia. Females are drab-coloured, being dull brownish above, and white below with strong dark streaking. They have greyish facial skin, and a greyish-black bill. Juveniles resemble females, but the streaking below is typically not as strong. The other orioles in its range, the Brown and , are superficially similar, but have entirely red bills when adult. Australasian Figbirds make a large number of different short calls, and are also able to mimic the voice of other birds, for example and other species of orioles. The song consists of a series of simple whistles.
