White-fronted chat
The white-fronted chat (''Epthianura albifrons'') is a species of bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae native to southern Australia. The male has a white face bordered by a black breast band. It is insectivorous.
==Taxonomy==
Jardine and P.J.Selby described the white-fronted chat in 1828 as ''Acanthiza albifrons''.〔 Lesson described it in 1844 as ''Fluvicola leucocephala'', and Brehm as ''Cinura torquata'' in 1845.〔
The species is monotypic; that is, no subspecies are recognised. Tasmanian birds were thought to have longer bills but this has not been borne out on further investigation.
This species has collected many vernacular names: Gould called it white-fronted epthianura in 1848, a direct translation of its Latin name, while from its distinctive call were derived the names (banded) tintack, gar, and tang, and the males' resemblance to a nun's habit led to the name (white-fronted) nun, similarly baldyhead, baldy, ringneck and singlebar come from its appearance. The derivation of others, such as clipper and tripper, is unclear.
