The Black-browed Triller occurs in northern New Guinea and nearby islands. Males are boldly black and white; females are duller, and the species uses forest edges and middle to upper canopy.
Males have a black head and upperparts with a blue-green sheen, white cheeks and underparts, and a white rump. Females are duller, with fine black barring on the breast and flanks.
It feeds on fruit and arthropods in the middle storey and canopy, often around openings in secondary forest, light woodland, mangroves, and forest edges.
