The Rusty-breasted Whistler (Pachycephala fulvotincta), also known as the Fulvous-tinted Whistler, is a species of bird in the Pachycephalidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia, where it ranges from Java east to Alor and north to the Selayar Islands. It is variably considered a subspecies of a widespread Golden Whistler or treated as a separate species, but strong published evidence in favour of either treatment is limited, and further study is warranted to resolve the complex taxonomic situation.[1]
It is the westernmost member of the Golden Whistler group, being bordered to the east by the Black-chinned and Yellow-throated Whistlers, and to the south by the Australian Golden Whistler. Compared to other members of the Golden Whistler group, the Rusty-breasted Whistler is relatively small, and males have a white throat and a rust-tinged chest, except in the subspecies teysmanni from Selayar Islands where the plumage of the male is female-like.[1]
