Restless Flycatcher
Myiagra inquieta (Latham, 1801)
Monarchidae — Monarchs
Restless Flycatcher, Myiagra inquieta, is a monarch bird of south-western and southern Australia, extending through south-west Western Australia and southern South Australia to north-east Queensland and Victoria. It was named by Latham in 1801. The bird is recognised by its unusual call, which has earned it the names razor grinder and scissors grinder. It is found in open and wooded country, river red gums near water, inland and coastal scrub, and some semi-urban places. It is similar to the willie wagtail, but lacks a black throat, head crest and white eyebrow, and has a slimmer build.
