Thanks in advance if anyone can help …. I’m currently in the midst of a fauna survey near Cloncurry in NW Qld. I’ve heard what I believe to be a Poecilodryas robin in a creekline here, and today I had abut 30 seconds with a recently fledged robin which on size & general morphology I think is a Poecilodryas rather than a Petroica (or any other Petroicidae). Kind of like a gigantic Red-capped Robin brown bird – well bigger than a Brown Honeyeater anyhow, very robust/broad beak, frenetic tail-raising & dashing about the undergrowth; overall buff colour with two buff wing bars.
Can anyone scan & send me the HANZAB plumage description for Poecilodryas?
cheers
