Thank you Jason Graham for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Coastal Areas and possibly elsewhere The two specimens here, photographed together, where different. We think the more orange eye brow was a male, as it had a larger bill, while the other was a female. Taken in November, they may have been coming out of breeding plummage? | |||||
