Description
The mottled berryhunter or mottled whistler (Rhagologus leucostigma) is a species of bird whose relationships are unclear but most likely related to the woodswallows, boatbills and butcherbirds. It is monotypic within the genus Rhagologus and family Rhagologidae. It is found in the highlands of New Guinea, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. 
Size
17 cm
Feeding Habits
Mottled Berryhunter principally consumes berries up to 9 mm in diameter and occasionally insects. It typically forages in lower to middle forest strata, sometimes venturing into the canopy. It displays unique selectivity for berry size in its diet.
Habitat
The primary habitat of mottled Berryhunter entails lower montane forests, including areas of secondary growth. These birds typically reside in regions characterized by dense canopy cover, often rich in undergrowth and fruit-bearing vegetation. They are found within broad geographical zones that possess such forested environments, avoiding specificity related to elevation.
