The Papuan hawk-owl (Uroglaux dimorpha) is a medium-sized, sleek owl with a proportionately small head, long tail, and short, rounded wings. Its white facial disk is small and indistinct, with black streaks, and white eyebrows. It has buff-colored upperparts and barred black and brown underparts. Its eyes are bright yellow, and it has a gray to black bill. The male is larger than the female, which is unusual among owls.[3]
Though generally found in lowland rainforest or gallery forest in lowland savanna, the Papuan hawk-owl is occasionally found at elevations of up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level.[1] It is probably a resident species in its restricted range, New Guinea.
Not much is known about the status of this species, as insufficient data exist to quantify its population.[1] It is rarely seen, and may be threatened due to deforestation.
