Grey-headed Robin
Poecilodryas albispecularis

The call of the Grey-headed Robin is one of the characteristic sounds of the montane rainforest of north eastern Queensland. It is usually not found below about 300 meters. This very attractive and robust little bird often perches motionless sideways on the trunks of trees then darts quickly to the ground where it hops briskly with a very upright posture. Often heard more than seen.
