Golden Whistler

Pachycephala pectoralis

Description:

The adult male Golden Whistler is bright yellow on the underside, olive-green on the back and wings, and black on the head with a bright yellow collar. The throat is white, separated from the yellow chest by a broad black band. The bill and legs are black. Females lack bright plumage. They are generally grey above, with a pale olive tinge, and paler grey below, with a buff wash. The bill is dark brown and the legs grey-brown. The eye is red-brown in adults of both sexes

Habitat:

I see Golden Whistlers fairly often in my yard. This particular one was taken in my front yard where it was preoccupied by insects and a female

Notes:

I hope its ok to put up more than one sighting of the same bird. I have previously put up a sighting of a Golden Whistler from April 2016
