I saw a small bird, a little bit bigger than a fairy wren, with white markings around the head, three distinct markings that may have been a cheek, eyebrow, face? I didn't catch much more in the way of detail, can anyone suggest any ideas, that i can look up? The rest of the body was a darker brown than the superb fairy wren.
thank you
Not knowing the locality where you saw the bird but wonder if you considered a White-browed Scrubwren? It does not quite fit your markings but a likely bird. Sue
Grey Fantail?
Tegan - Melbourne Vic.
Thank you both for that, I forget often to include location, it was near just north of North Sydney area, remnant bushland.
I think it may have been a grey fantail. Thanks! I'll have to see it again to be sure.
