Species notes
Upperparts gray-brown, underparts variably cream and yellow, with pale eyebrow and pale eye. Distinctive loud song, given year-round, often rendered “I’m a wee-bill!”
Inhabits dry, open woodlands, especially eucalypt forests. Very vocal as it forages in trees, where it feeds primarily on insects, sometimes in mixed flocks with thornbills and pardalotes.
