Drymodes superciliaris (Northern Scrub Robin)

Wikipedia Abstract

The northern scrub robin (Drymodes superciliaris) is a species of bird in the Petroicidae family. It is found in northern Australia. It was found to be genetically distinct from the Papuan scrub robin, with which it was considered conspecific. A putative subspecies, D. s. colcloughi, known as the Roper River scrub robin, was described by Gregory Mathews in 1914 from specimens supposedly collected from the Northern Territory of Australia. However, there have been no further records from the area, the provenance of the specimens has been questioned, and the taxon is controversial.
