Hi all,
I am curently staying on a station between Winton and Boulia in Central
Queensland. This morning we heard strange noises from a tree outside and on
investigating found a brown speckled medium/large bird with a very pale
yellow breast, black eye and solid black beak. The markings around the eye
were distinctly different above and below the mid line. I think it might
have been a juvenile (little bit of pink at gape) spotted Bowerbird, but the
breast had no barring or splotches - just plain - more like the
fawn-breasted, which is way out its range, according to the books. Others
i"ve looked at are great and Western Bowerbirds. Anyone with better
knowledge on this subject can help?
