Melanesian whistler
The Melanesian whistler or Vanuatu whistler (''Pachycephala chlorura'') is a species of passerine bird in the whistler family Pachycephalidae. It is found on the Loyalty Islands, Vanuatu, and Vanikoro in far southeastern Solomons. In the past, it has been treated as a subspecies of the golden whistler.
It inhabits humid forest, including degraded forest and forest edges, from sea level up to at least . They are relatively common in suitable habitat, particularly below , and are not considered threatened by the IUCN. The species is sedentary.
==Description==
The species is a medium sized whistler, typically around in length and weighing , though some subspecies are larger. In the nominate subspecies the male has a dark slate-grey crown, face and nape, a white throat, ochraceous-yellow belly and rump, and olive back and wings with a black line between the throat and belly. The legs are dark brown. Males of other subspecies share the white throat, but are less ochraceous below, and may –depending on the exact subspecies involved– have a far broader black band between the throat and belly, and a black or olive crown, face and nape.
In the nominate subspecies the female is duller than the male with a buff belly and rump, no line between the throat and belly, and an olive-brown head, back and wings. The legs are lighter brown than in the male. Females of some other subspecies have a yellow belly, and a greyish, brownish or olive throat.
