    Good call, methinks.

    I don't think it's an oriental magpie robin, Warwick. They have much more white underneath, covering the lower half of their bellies.

    Magpie robins (male and female)



    I think it is a pied bushchat (below).

    I haven't seen many but the ones I've seen have all been in or near rice fields.

    ^ Our garden borders onto rice field. Here is the male again with a better exposure...hard to get detail of black on a sunny day.

    Is this the female?

    Yes, it looks like a female pied bushchat, Troy. A nice photo of it too.

    ^ Always wondered what these birds were. Seen a few in my garden but never managed to get a photo. I don't see them until they are startled or have an obstructed view.

    Thanks for the ident...lots of garden birds around that I would like an I'd on.

    You've probably seen quite a few of these around your garden, Troy.

    Scaly Breasted Munia.

    I'll try Nev, but not easy for me. That munia above has no detail when I take a shot. In the garden, the dogs scare them away too easily. I have a week to see what I can manage.

    Nice pic btw...

    ^ A nice looking bird. An escaped cage bird?

    Scaly Breasted Munia.

    There is a nest with a pair of Scaly Breasted Munia in a native, shrubby tree beside the house. They look a boring brown from a distance but close up they are quite attactive.

    When I pointed them out to the gf she told me her grandmother used to like them. It took a moment before I realised that her grandmother liked them to eat.
    Isaan. What can one say?
