The Fawn-breasted Bowerbird occurs on New Guinea and in northern Australia. The male builds a stick bower and uses it in courtship.
It is brownish olive, with a pale gray crown, chestnut rump, and pale fawn throat and chest marked with fine streaks; the underside is cinnamon-colored. The sexes look very similar.
During breeding, the male builds a stick structure on the ground called a bower and uses it to court females.
