Striated Pardalote mimicking Red-browed Pardalote

[Sue & Phil Gregory <>]

My black belt birder mate John Coons is leading a group over in the  
Kununurra area, and he just had the following surprising observation  
which I thought I'd share with the birding-aus folks:
This morning I heard a Red-browed Pardalote and called it in at the  
Wyndham Caravan Park.  There
ended up being two parents feeding a young.  The male was singing a  
perfect
Red-browed song but all three birds were Striateds!?  I couldn't  
believe it.
Needless to say this was first for him, and would be for me, sure  
hope the habit doesn't spread as Red-browed on call is a nice easy  
one! Anyone else noted this before?
