It looks a bit like a small wattlebird and is probably more closely related to them than anything else. Striking features are its pink bill with black tip and its apricot-buff throat and upper breast. It also has a whitish streak on the cheek, a black mask and a blue eye. The long tail has extensive white tips. There is more information at Birds in Backyards. |
