The Bismarck Whistler (Pachycephala citreogaster) is a species of bird in the Pachycephalidae family, which is endemic to the Bismarck and Louisiade Archipelagos in Papua New Guinea. It is variably considered a subspecies of a widespread Golden Whistler (P. pectoralis) 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] The males of the Bismarck Whistler are white-throated unlike the yellow-throated males of the Oriole Whistler (P. orioloides) to the south-east.[1]
