Pardalotus striatus striatus
The crown is black having white streaks. The eyebrow is white, starting with a yellow mark near the beak. All races have a white stripe on the wing and olive backs. Pardalotus striatus striatus has a yellow spot on the wing, whilst the other subspecies have a red dot. The male and female are similar, juveniles have duller plumage.
Striated pardalotes occupy a vast range of habitat types from tall mountain rainforest to arid scrubland, and are found in all parts of Australia except some of the Western Australian deserts.

Forgot I had it, Mark, until Charlie jogged my memory with her beautiful photo of a Spotted Pardalote. This is often the case with me. I see someone else' spotting and think, "wait, I have one of those somewhere". Mind like a steel sieve. Thanks Maria.
Such a lovely little bird - nice spotting!
Two years ago? You've been holding out on us. :) Fabulous little bird.
Beautiful Lori , on my to see list ..seen a juvenille on the weekend at Table Cape , but it started raining , and couldn't sit and wait for better pictures, he was getting deeper into the bush he was in .
They usually stay deep in the bush, Ernst. Like this fellow guarding his nest hole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_pa... Probably the father of this one, if I had to guess.
