Peewee

Native to Australia. I love these little birds with their striking plumage and 'peewee' call. Also commonly known as magpie-larks.
This is a male, with the white eyebrows and black face/chest.

    Thank you Christine. Both male and female can be seen here. Please also note my sighting is the sub-species Corvus cyanoleucus cyanoleuca, found in eastern and southern Australia. Perhaps it should be labelled in the species section, not just as magpie-lark? Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

      Is the correct ID Grallina cyanoleuca cyanoleuca? I can't find it as Corvus cyanoleucus cyanoleuca and am wondering if that is an older synonym? Posted 6 years ago
