Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Heavily built brownish songbird found in dense wet forests of southeastern Australia and Tasmania. Gray head and white throat contrast with greenish back; pale gray breast band separates white throat from rich olive-brown belly. Much larger than Golden Whistler (which has a yellow undertail area, less distinct throat patch). Many different calls, all with loud clear whistles delivered in slow, smooth manner.
