キホオミツスイ

<em>Melipotes fumigatus</em>, commonly known as the Common Smoky Honeyeater, is a passerine bird belonging to the family Meliphagidae within the order Passeriformes. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating a stable and adequately sized population. This bird is endemic to the highland forests of New Guinea, where it inhabits montane forest edges, gardens, and mid-elevation forest interior, typically between 1,500 and 3,700 meters above sea level. Despite the range data listing Norway in the current dataset, <em>Melipotes fumigatus</em> is a New Guinea endemic and is not naturally found in Europe; this geographic entry may reflect a data anomaly. Like other honeyeaters, it typically feeds on nectar, fruit, and small invertebrates, using its brush-tipped tongue to extract floral nectar. The plumage is largely sooty-brown or smoky gray, as suggested by both the common and scientific names. This species plays an important ecological role as a pollinator within New Guinea's montane ecosystems. Specific biological traits such as average lifespan, body length, and weight remain poorly documented in comprehensive scientific literature for this species.
