Northern Scrub Robin
Drymodes superciliaris Gould, 1850
Petroicidae — Australasian Robins
Northern Scrub Robin, Drymodes superciliaris, is a bird of the family Petroicidae that lives in the far north of Australia, in northern Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. It is a distinct species, separated genetically from the Papuan scrub robin, which had once been treated as the same bird. A proposed subspecies, D. s. colcloughi, the Roper River scrub robin, was described from Northern Territory specimens in 1914, but its origin has been questioned and the taxon remains disputed.
