White-breasted woodswallow
The white-breasted woodswallow (''Artamus leucorynchus'') is a small passerine bird which breeds from the Andaman Islands east through Indonesia and northern Australia.〔 The name "woodswallow" is a misnomer as they are not closely related to true swallows. Instead, they belong to the family Artamidae, which also includes butcherbirds, currawongs and the Australian magpie.
The species was first described by Linnaeus in 1771, its specific epithet derived from the Ancient Greek words ''leucos'' 'white', and ''rhynchos'' 'bill'.
==Description==
This woodswallow's soft-plumage is charcoal grey apart from the white underparts that give the species its English and scientific names, in contrast to the related great woodswallow whose upper side is a more glossy black.〔Coates, Brian J.; ''The Birds of Papua New Guinea Including the Bismarck Archipelago and Bougainville: Volume 2 - Passerines''; pp. 373-375. ISBN 0959025715〕 Despite its brush-tipped tongue, usually associated with nectar feeders, it catches insects on the wing.
