Lemon-bellied Flyrobin
Microeca flavigaster Gould, 1843
Petroicidae — Australasian Robins
Lemon-bellied Flyrobin, Microeca flavigaster, is a passerine of the Petroicidae family that breeds in New Guinea and northern Australia. John Gould described it in 1843. It is found from the Ord River east to coastal Queensland, and also occurs in mangroves, paperbark swamp forest and woodland. The nominate form has lemon-yellow underparts, a white throat, a grey face with a white eyebrow, and olive-brown upperparts. Other subspecies differ in plumage and proportions, and tormenti lacks the yellow colouring seen in the others.
