Double-barred Finch

Taeniopygia bichenovii annulosa

Description:

Two narrow, black bars which extend across (and contrast with) its otherwise white front — one goes across its breast and the other across the lower portion of its throat. This second bar encloses the bird’s face.

Habitat:

Dry grassy woodland, open forest, grassy dry scrub, farmland and, never far from water.

Notes:

My first reference for identification: The Michael Morcombe eGuide to Australian Birds, Mobile App. Second reference: http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/doub... Spotted these li'l finches at Dimond Gorge.

That's a nice shot. I see these little finches often in my backyard.
