Carpentarian Grasswren Amytornis dorotheae

Small, long-tailed, brown-and-black-streaked bird with white throat, rusty flanks, and black moustache. Known from a few small areas from around Borroloola (Northern Territory) to near Mount Isa (Queensland), where large spinifex clumps grow in sandstone outcrops or stony hills. Frequent burning of these areas has made this species very hard to find. Usually seen foraging on the ground in pairs or small groups. Near Mount Isa, there is possible range overlap with Kalkadoon Grasswren (lacks the white throat; more uniformly brown).
