Inland Thornbill
Acanthiza apicalis Gould, 1847
Acanthizidae — Australasian Warblers
Inland Thornbill, Acanthiza apicalis, is a passerine of Australia, found across the mainland except the north, east and Tasmania. It belongs to the Acanthizidae, the Australasian warblers, and was described by Gould in 1847. Also called the broad-tail thornbill, it is placed in the genus Acanthiza. The name apicalis comes from a Latin word meaning tipped. The Noongar people of south-western Western Australia know it as Djoobi-Djoolbang. Several subspecies are recognised, and these were once treated as separate species.
