Hi John,
I can't find one. Jobling, JA (2010, Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names)
says there is no explanation, but it was first used by Mathews in 1913, and
Richmond, CW (1917, Proc. Of U.S. Nat Hist Mus 35: 583-655) claims that it is
an Aboriginal name.

Thanks Stephen
Any info on what Zanda means? (Calyptorhynchus means 'hidden beak').
