Thank you Tony and Jenny Dominelli & David Mules for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills, the Flinders Ranges and elsewhere What a song. Pretty, but plain-coloured (grey shades) Juveniles: rufous eye + breast markings. Males have a white patch between the eyes and the beak (ie the lores). But this patch isn't easy to see, depending on lighting. So seeing a white lores means you have a male, while not seeing a white lores doesn't guarantee you have a female. The female has a white eye ring. Both genders sing, not just the male. | |||||
