western rufous bristlebird
The western rufous bristlebird (''Dasyornis broadbenti litoralis''), also known as the rufous bristlebird (western), the south-western rufous bristlebird or the lesser rufous bristle bird,〔 is an extinct and little-known subspecies of the rufous bristlebird that was endemic to Western Australia.
==History and status==
The bristlebird was discovered on 12 October 1901 at Ellensbrook, some 10 km north-west of Margaret River, by Alexander William Milligan. He shot an adult female, describing it the following year in ''The Emu'' as a new species, ''Sphenura litoralis''.〔 It was last reliably recorded in 1908 when a specimen was again collected. Since then there have been some unconfirmed sightings, which are not considered to be accurate, and the taxon is listed as extinct under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.〔 The reason for its extinction is thought to be the destruction of its shrubland habitat which was repeatedly burnt in the early 20th century to create pasture.〔
