Psophodes nigrogularis Gould, 1844
Psophodidae — Whipbirds
Western Whipbird, Psophodes nigrogularis, is a passerine of far south-west Western Australia, coastal central south South Australia and Kangaroo Island. It was described by Gould in 1844 and belongs to the whipbird family, Psophodidae. The bird has been treated at times as two separate species, with the black-throated whipbird and the white-bellied whipbird split from it. Its breeding range covers scattered parts of south-west Australia. The species is mainly olive green, with a black throat, a narrow white cheek patch edged in black, and a long dark tail tipped with white.
