The red-browed pardalote (''Pardalotus rubricatus'') is a small brightly coloured insectivorous passerine, endemic to Australia . A gleaning specialist, they forage primarily in eucalypt trees . The Latin word rubricatus means red-ochred which is descriptive of their orange-red eyebrow . Other common names include red-browed diamondbird, bellbird, cape red-browed, pale red-browed, fawn-eyed, fawn-eyebrowed and pallid or red-lored pardalote . == Taxonomy== Red-browed pardalotes belong to the order Passeriformes and family Pardalotidae of which four species are recognised: red-browed pardalote ''Pardalotus rubricatus'', spotted pardalote ''Pardalotus punctatus'', forty-spotted pardalote ''Pardalotus quadragintus'' and striated pardalote ''Pardalotus striatus''. Historically, the family Pardalotidae included pardalotes and acanthizid warblers; gerygones, scrubwrens and thornbills . However, recent phylogenetic and morphological studies , indicate that pardalotes are more closely related to honeyeaters than acanthizid warblers, which resulted in the separation of this group into two families, Pardalotidae and Acanthizidae . The pardalote, acanthizid warbler, honeyeater and bristlebird family, form a monophyletic group . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red-browed pardalote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
