Eastern whipbird

The eastern whipbird (''Psophodes olivaceus'') is an insectivorous passerine bird native to the east coast of Australia, its whip-crack call a familiar sound in forests of eastern Australia. Two subspecies are recognised. Heard much more often than seen, it is a dark olive-green and black in colour with a distinctive white cheek patch and crest. The male and female are similar in plumage.
==Taxonomy==
The eastern whipbird was mistakenly described by John Latham as two separate species in 1802 from early colonial illustrations, first as the white-cheeked crow (''Corvus olivaceus''), then as the coachwhip flycatcher (''Muscicapa crepitans''). The bird became commonly known as coachwhip bird or stockwhip bird. John Gould recorded the aboriginal term ''Djou'' from the Hunter Region of New South Wales.
Its specific name is derived from its olive colouration, though was soon placed in the new genus ''Psophodes'' by Nicholas Aylward Vigors and Thomas Horsfield, derived from the Greek ''psophōdes''/ψοφωδης meaning 'noisy'. The family placement has changed, some now placing it in a large broadly defined inclusive Corvidae, while others split it and several other genera into the quail-thrush family Cinclosomatidae. Other research proposes that the quail-thrushes are themselves distinctive, leaving the whipbirds and wedgebills in a family with the proposed name Psophodidae. The name "Eupetidae" had been used for this grouping; however, because of the distant relationship of the rail-babbler to the other members of this group uncovered in research by Jønsson et al. (2007) 〔Jønsson, K.A., J. Fjeldså, P.G.P. Ericson, and M. Irestedt. 2007. ''Biology Letters'' 3(3):323-326〕 that name is more appropriately used for the monotypic family which contains this species.
