Obscure Berrypecker

The Obscure Berrypecker is a drab olive coloured bird with a greyish wash on its upperparts. It resembles the female Black Berrypecker except that its wing linings and pectoral tufts are yellowish and the bill is pale coloured. The species is arboreal and probably is a solitary forager of fruit and small invertebrates obtained by hover-gleaning .

The Obscure Berrypecker is classified as Data Deficient (DD), inadequate information to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction.
