The canary flyrobin (Devioeca papuana), also known as the Papuan flycatcher, canary robin, canary flycatcher, or montane flycatcher, is a species of bird in the family Petroicidae. It is found in New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests with elevations from 1,100–3,500 m (3,609–11,483 ft). Currently, its population is believed to be stable.[2]
The canary flyrobin was described by the German ornithologist, Adolf Bernhard Meyer, in 1875, from a specimen collected in the Arfak Mountains on the island of New Guinea. He coined the binomial name Microeca papuana.[3][4] It was moved to the resurrected genus Devioeca, based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2011.[5][6] The genus Devioeca was originally introduced by the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1925.[7]
