Alternative names: Mountain Whistler; Solomon Whistler; Solomon Mountain Whistler
- Pachycephala implicata
Includes Bougainville Hooded Whistler and Guadalcanal Hooded Whistler
Identification
16.5cm. A Whistler with two distinctive subspecies:
Male:
- Black head
- Olive upperparts, yellow-olive in richardsi
- Black tail
- Dark grey chin to upper breast, black in richardsi
- Yellowish-olive rest of underparts, yellow in richardsi
- Black bill
Female:
- Grey crown and side of head
- Greenish-olive upperparts
- Pale grey chin, throat and upper breast, darker in richardsi
- Olive-yellow rest of underparts, yellow in richardsi
Juveniles similar to female but with rufous underparts and upperparts
Distribution
Found on Bougainville Island (Papua New Guinea) and Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands).
Generally uncommon.
Taxonomy
Subspecies[1]
- P. i. implicata - Guadalcanal Hooded Whistler:
- Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands)
- P. i. richardsi - Bougainville Hooded Whistler:
- Bougainville (Solomon Islands)
As the two subspecies have major plumage differences they should maybe better treated as two full species which Clements does since the 2014 update. However, the other worldlists have not yet followed that split.
Habitat
Montane forests mainly at 1200 - 2400m. Co-occurs with Golden Whistler in lower elevations.
Behaviour
Feeds on insects. Takes sometimes small snails, berries and seeds.
Fledglings were seen in October. No other information about breeding.
Resident species.
