Thank you Matt Campbell, Antoni Camozzato & Anthony Paul for confirming the id of this species for us EXTRA - Photo Specific Information: In this series of the Immature bird, you can see a lot less black around the face than the following adult. It looks like it's learning to catch the insects flying around the top of the Callitris. It's being very clumsy and not able to perch properly on the soft flowing tree tips. General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills, the Flinders Ranges and elsewhere A fairly large pretty grey bird with a distinctive black face, blending through to grey and then white under. Swoops as it flies. Similar to a Grey Shrike-thrush from the back, but larger. | |||||
