Spotted
The Banded Whiteface is a small, striking songbird found in the arid interior of Australia. It is easily recognized by its prominent white face, dark cap, and a distinct black band across its breast, which gives it its name. This species inhabits sparse shrublands and mulga country.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid mulga and acacia shrublands across inland Australia, primarily in Western Australia, South Australia, and parts of the Northern Territory.
How to spot
Look for its prominent white face combined with the distinctive black breast band. It forages on the ground or in low shrubs. Listen for its quiet, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Highly active during the day, often in small flocks.
The Banded Whiteface's black breast band is a unique feature among Australian whitefaces, making it easily distinguishable.
