About the Brown-headed Jewel-babbler

The brown-headed jewel-babbler (Ptilorrhoa geislerorum), also known as the dimorphic jewel-babbler or brown-capped jewel-babbler, is a jewel-babbler in the family Cinclosomatidae. It is now usually considered to be distinct from the blue jewel-babbler, separated altitudinally and by varying behaviour, calls and female plumage. Del Hoyo, J.; Elliot, A. & Christie D. (editors).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 8 recordings for this species: 1 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.

Listed as recorded in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea in the xeno-canto catalogue.
