I saw an interesting thornbill on the weekend which had markings that i couldn't identify from the field guide. It had a rich bright chestnut rump (as chestnut-rumped thornbill), but the marking that made it look odd was a similarly coloured chestnut forehead and crown. Simpson and Day list the forehead on chestnut rumped thornbills as light brown. Does anyone familiar with chestnut rumped thornbills, know whether thier crown/forehead can appear chestnut, or whether this is maybe a juvenile marking? Thanks in advance, Peter |
