Thank you Antoni Camozzato & Andrew Allen for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Riverland and elsewhere Very obvious brown & buff ring pattern around the eye. Striated throat. The chestnut-rump is easily hidden by the wings. Eye is off-white. Eye colour helps greatly when trying to identify a thornbill when the rest of the bird is obscured.
