Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small, compact bird with decurved bill found in wet Tasmanian forests. Brown above, pale below, with gray face, olive wash on flanks, and small white wingbar. Narrow eyering imparts a spectacled appearance. Feeds much like a treecreeper, by hitching its way along tree trunks and branches. Compare Tasmanian Scrubwren, which is browner, larger, and has a strong supercilium. A Tasmanian endemic species.
