The Papuan whipbird (Androphobus viridis) is a little-known and unobtrusive species of bird in the family Psophodidae.

[3] This is probably due to the fact that it is very secretive, and, despite not being too restricted, thinly spread throughout its range; it is likely to be overlooked unless singing.

[4] This species is 16–17 cm (6.3–6.7 in), making it significantly smaller than Australian whipbirds.

Males have a moustachial white stripe and black throat while females are all moss green.

It appears unlikely to be affected by habitat destruction, as steep slopes and inaccessible terrain make the area a difficult target for logging activity.
