Pomatostomus superciliosus (White-browed Babbler)

Wikipedia Abstract

The white-browed babbler (Pomatostomus superciliosus) is a small, gregarious species of bird in the Pomatostomidae family. They are endemic to the open woodlands and shrubby areas of central and southern Australia. The Latin name superciliosus refers to the supercilium or ‘eyebrow’, which is a feature synonymous with the pomatostomine babblers (Hall’s babbler, chestnut-crowned babbler, grey-crowned babbler and white-browed babbler).
