Thank you Indra Bone, John Oliver & Owen Lishmund for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Runs a lot. Easily confused with babbler, but much prettier when it stops. Females have a blue-grey breast. In the males, the grey is replaced with a solid black, which contrasts with the white. White under, dark chestnut back. A family regularly visits while we take a coffee break. They no longer seem too bothered by our presence. | |||||
