The Mid-mountain Berrypecker lives in mountain forests of New Guinea. Males and females have different upperparts, and the bird feeds on small berries and spiders in the forest understorey.
Males have black upperparts with a blue-green sheen and pale yellow pectoral tufts. Females have dull olive-green upperparts and are slightly larger-looking.
It feeds on small berries and spiders in the understorey and middle levels of forest. It is usually seen alone and appears not to join mixed-species feeding flocks.
