Subject: Re: Baby bird ID needed
Hi all
I wondered if anyone has an idea as to which species the brown bird is. It was picked up in Darwin and taken into care.
Some suggestions, Pheasant Coucal, Dollarbird, Toressian Crow have been received by the Wildlife carers forum.
They believe the bird to the right of it is a Bar shouldered Dove.
Your help would be appreciated.

G’day Carol,
It has all of the correct markings and structure for a very young White-breasted Woodswallow, but the white areas showing as a pale buff colour would possibly be a problem or are they just coloured tips that wear off revealing pure white?. Will have to have another think about other possibles
Cheers Jeff.
