Did you count it as a subspecies ? -- Pachycephala pectoralis
xanthoprocta.

The golden whistler on Norfolk Island is a surprisingly different bird
from its relative on the mainland. Apart from not being golden at all
it has a very different, and more varied vocal repertoire. When this
bird going to be declared a separate species ?
Apart from the residents most of whom were easy to find (excepting the
extict? white breasted white eye), we saw: 1-4 great frigatebirds at
Bird Rock, 3 days running 1 brown booby at the same location 1 lonely
white throated needletail flying around Mt Pitt 8-14 Dec ! 1 Pectoral
sandpiper Kingston marsh/Commons-also stayed the week. 2 Red Knots ( one
with red over black flags) Also 2 bartailed godwits, 24 ruddy
turnstones, 2 whimbrels , and 2-3 wandering tattlers out on the reef.
The sea birds were great and a trip to Philip Island is worth the
effort. Unfortunately no white necked petrels about, but dark phase
kermadec was nesting.
