The drab whistler (Pachycephala griseonota) is a species of bird in the family Pachycephalidae. It is found in the Maluku Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Taxonomy and systematics
Some authorities have considered the drab whistler as several subspecies of the rufous whistler.
Subspecies
Five subspecies are recognized:[2]
- P. g. lineolata - Wallace, 1863, 1876: Originally described as a separate species. Found on Peleng and Sula Islands
- P. g. cinerascens - Salvadori, 1878: Originally described as a separate species. Found on southern Lau Islands
- P. g. examinata - Hartert, 1898: Originally described as a separate species. Found on Buru (southern Moluccas)

- P. g. kuehni - Hartert, 1898: Originally described as a separate species. Found on the Kai Islands
Additionally, some authorities consider the cinnamon-breasted whistler to also be a subspecies of the drab whistler (as P. g. johni).[3]
