Australia has a wealth of finches; most are small seed-feeders that often have some red coloration. This one lacks red (although it has a yellow beak) but is attractively patterned in pastel tan, gray, black, and white. These were photographed near a small puddle in a dry creekbed in Kakadu Park, Northern Territory. Also drinking here were long-tailed, crimson, and double-barred finches; the insanely bright Gouldian finch, although increasingly rare, also occurs in this region. |
