Rusty pitohui  The rusty pitohui ("Pseudorectes ferrugineus") is a species of bird in the family Pachycephalidae. It is found throughout the lowlands of the Aru Islands and New Guinea. The rusty pitohui was originally classified within the genus "Rectes" (a synonym for the genus "Pitohui") until moved to "Pseudorectes" by the IOC in 2013. Alternatively, some other authorities classify the rusty pitohui in the genus "Colluricincla". Alternate names for the rusty pitohui include the ferrugineous pitohui and rusty shrike-thrush. Six subspecies are recognized:  The rusty pitohui is a medium-sized, approximately 28 cm long, rusty brown songbird with a strong black bill, pale iris and yellowish-buff below. The subspecies "P. f. leucorhynchus" and "P. f. fuscus" of Waigeo and Batanta islands off Western New Guinea have a whitish bill. It is the largest member of its family. Both sexes are similar. The rusty pitohui is distributed and endemic to lowland and hill forests of New Guinea, Aru Island and West Papuan islands. The rusty pitohui is usually seen in small parties, mixed with other gregarious species. It builds a deep, cup-shaped nest of sticks, leaves and stems in a fork of a tree. Widespread and common throughout its habitat range, the rusty pitohui is evaluated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
