Pied monarch        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Monarchs are a diverse group of old-world flycatchers from Australia and nearby islands.   This is the pied monarch, a species from tropical forests in northeast Australia.   This one came to a small stream to bathe; in doing so it showed off its large white neck ruff.
