  1. Hi Graeme, pretty sure you've got a thornbill here, not a jacky winter. The throat shouldn't be streaked and the bird much greyer overall. Posted 8 years ago

The Jacky Winter is a species of bird in the Petroicidae family. It is found in Australia and Papua New Guinea. It is also colloquially known as Postsitter for its habit of sitting on posts in paddocks and farms. It was previously known as the Brown Flycatcher but is not closely related to true flycatchers.
