White-browed babbler
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).〔
==Description==
Ranging from 17 cm to 21 cm in length the white-browed babbler is the smallest of the Australian babblers. It is a medium-sized terrestrial bird with a long and decurved bill.〔 The wings are short and rounded in shape adjoining to a plump, full body which is similar, but slightly smaller than the chestnut-crowned or Hall’s babbler.〔 The tail is long and graduated ending with a rounded tip.〔 The gregarious nature of this species means that the tail is often fanned or raised or any mix of the two. There are many variations to colour, however the adult babbler generally varies from a dark grey-brown to solid dark brown with distinguished white supercilium and dark brown eye stripe.〔 The underside is usually lighter in colour, varying from light grey or white to light brown, sometimes lighter for females, but generally sexes are similar.〔 Juvenile individuals often have more pronounced dark plumage with a chestnut or cinnamon motif, especially on the underside. Breeding adult males may sometimes have a more pronounced brown ‘cap’ compared to females or juvenile individuals.
