Splendid Fairy-wrens and Princess Parrots

["Stephen Ambrose" <>]

M.s. musgravi is the currently accepted name of the subspecies in central
Australia. M.s. callainus is synonymous, being the former subspecies name.

I agree with John - great photo!

Hi Jon,

 

Looks like you've got the a 'Turquoise Wren', based on the relatively broad
black breastband. My P&K lists Turquoise as ssp. callainus and Morecombe
lists it as ssp. musgravi, so perhaps callainus and musgravi are synonymous?

 

BTW - beautiful photo too!


Cheers,

John
