Geoff's Gallery:   Brown Thornbill (1/3)

PASSERIFORMES: Acanthizidae

Acanthiza pusilla  

Brown Thornbill (Tasmanian form diemenensis)

The Brown Thornbill and Tasmanian Thornbill are very similar.

Scalloping on the crown is seen in the Brown Thornbill whereas the Tasmanian Thornbill has a plain brown crown.

The location also helps with identification as the Tasmanian Thornbill prefers wetter habitats.
