About the Rote Myzomela

The Rote myzomela (Myzomela irianawidodoae) is a species of Indonesian honeyeater endemic to the island of Rote. It is considered distinct from the Sumba myzomela based on voice. It was named after Iriana Joko Widodo, the first lady of Indonesia at the time of description. It has a scarlet head and nape, as well as lower back and tail, and a dark grey upper back and light grey stomach. It is threatened by habitat loss.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 7 recordings for this species: 7 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
