Beobachtungsdetails

Continuing bird. Walking around by itself under a pepper tree and eating berries at the end of Eucalyptus drive. Walking towards us at times. A ridiculously easy life bird. A very colorful pipit with a deep olive green colored back with thick black stripes on the mantle and crown. The bird had a wide off white supercillium, olive auriculars with a white spot above a black spot at the rear of the auriculars. The flight feathers were black and heavily edged bright yellow/olive green. I saw an upper wing bar made of white tips to black coverts. The malar was black and thickened at the bottom to form a black triangle. Heavy black streaking on a white chest with buffy flanks. The bill was thick and a pale pink on the bottom and dusky on top. The legs were a pale pink. I think Keith and I were the last people to see this bird as I saw no other reports afterwards. Phew!
