Saw this beautiful Jacky Winter at Lajamanu, NT. They are also called "Peter, Peter" birds because of their calling like that, and I can say how true that is after listening to this one call.

Lovely photos RJ and thanks, for you have cleared up what I thought was A Jacky Winter I photographed the other day and mine looked similar but not as white on the chest as yours.
Regards
Shane
good pics, thanks

Hi Shane, don't be too quick to dismiss. Pizzey and Knight says how the southern ones aren't as white as the northern ones, so not sure where you are but could well be a Jacky Winter. Also, the call is the other give-away, the ones up here never shut up! "Peter-Peter!"
