Chestnut-rumped Heathwren

Hylacola pyrrhopygia

Least Concern

The Chestnut-rumped Heathwren is a small active insectivore of heath, woodland, shrubland, or dry country in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
