White-browed Scrubwren

Sericornis frontalis (Vigors & Horsfield, 1827)

White-browed Scrubwren, Sericornis frontalis, is a passerine of western, southern and eastern Australia, including the New England Tablelands and coastal districts. It belongs to the Acanthizidae, the Australasian Warblers. It lives in undergrowth and seldom leaves it, though it can also occur near towns. It is usually seen in small groups and is sedentary. The bird breeds cooperatively. It is mainly brown, with striking white brows and pale eyes, and the three subspecies differ quite a lot. The larger Tasmanian scrubwren was once treated as part of this species.
