Southern Emuwren Stipiturus malachurus

A tiny, buff-brown bird with an enormously long tail. Tail is much longer and far more spindly than that of fairywrens. Females have dark streaks on the crown and back and are warm buffy-brown underneath. Males are similar, except they have a sky-blue throat. Typically very shy, they live in coastal heathland in southern Australia and are unlikely to be seen unless you are actively looking for them.
