Grey-headed Robin (Heteromyias cinereifrons).
Illustrated from wild references of local birds sighted at Taylor's Hill in Malaan National Park. The grey-headed robin is perched on a decaying branch that is being consumed by the yellow-footed polypore (Microporus xanthopus) fungus. Both a common sight in the undergrowth of the rainforest where the grey-headed robin stands motionless before darting to the ground to find food.
The grey-headed robin is one of the thirteen species that are known to be strictly endemic to The Wet Tropics Bioregion. Their range is restricted mostly to the highland rainforest and only occurs at lower altitudes when the habitat is unbroken down to the lowlands. Fragmented habitat puts this bird at risk of extinction. This highlights the importance of connecting the high altitude rainforest with the lowlands, of which about 52% is now under pasture.
