The Pilotbird (*Pycnoptilus floccosus*) is a secretive, ground-dwelling bird found only in the dense, wet forests and heathlands of southeastern Australia. This chunky, chocolate-brown bird is most at home in the thick undergrowth of Victoria and New South Wales, where it spends much of its time foraging among the leaf litter on the forest floor.
