The Baliem whistler or Balim whistler (Pachycephala balim) is a species of bird of the whistler family Pachycephalidae that is endemic to New Guinea.[1]
Taxonomy and systematics
The Baliem whistler was formerly considered as a subspecies of both the Australian golden whistler (until 2015) and then the yellow-throated whistler. It has since been re-classified as a separate species by the IOC in 2016.[2] Many other authorities do not yet recognize this split and re-classification.[3]
