Eopsaltria georgiana (White-breasted Robin)

Wikipedia Abstract

The white-breasted robin (Eopsaltria georgiana) is a species of bird in the Petroicidae family. It is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. Unlike many other Australian robins, it lacks bright colours in its plumage, being a predominantly greyish bird with white underparts. Like many other Australian passerines of the Corvida group, it is a cooperative breeder. It is sedentary, with pairs or small groups maintaining territories.
