Red-Browed Finch

Neochmia temporalis

Description:

The Red-browed Finch is most easily recognised by its bright red eyebrow, rump and beak, on an otherwise green and grey bird. Upperparts are olive green with grey underneath. Both sexes are similar in appearance. Often observed in small flocks, which feed on the grass. They will fly into dense undergrowth when disturbed by a passer-by. Red-browed Finches may also be called Red-browed Firetails.

Habitat:

The Red-browed Finch is found in grassy areas interspersed with dense understorey vegetation, often along creek lines.
