The Wattled Ploughbill(Eulacestoma nigropectus) from New Guinea is part of a monotypic genus and its closest relatives are the sittellas. They mainly feed on insects and are specialized at finding bugs around bamboo. They are skilled at using their beaks to tear at bark on trees or bamboo to find insects underneath.
They only grow up to 5 inches(12-14 cm)!
Wattled Ploughbills are mostly found in the cloud forests up to 10 meters above the ground, making them hard to spot! However, they have a distinctive call to listen for if you're searching for these little guys.
