Larry's Gallery:   Eastern Yellow Robin (2/5)

PASSERIFORMES: Petroicidae

Eopsaltria australis  

"Yellow robins inhabit coastal eastern Australia from Victoria northwards into tropical Queensland; however, towards the north the robins become progressively more richly coloured, a little larger in size, and are known as Northern Yellow Robins..."*

The northern race chrysorrhoa of the Eastern Yellow Robin has a bright yellow rump compared to the the more olive rump of the southern nominate race.
