World Bird Wednesday - A new Visitor


This little sweetie was grazing in the little tree just outside my
room. The nearest identification I could find is a female Gilbert's
Whistler, Pachycephala inornata, about the size of a New Holland
Honey-eater. I hope Stewart M or Tony C can double check for me.


The markings on the flight feathers were quite distinctive


and the pale eye-ring as well.


Here is just one more shot for good measure. I found her
quite charming.



Thank you Stewart M for confirming my initial ID at the top
of this post.

All enlarge of course.
