Tregellasia capito
Native Range:
Australian Region
Notes:
a pretty little petroicid robin with a head that seems disproportionately large compared to ithe bird's tiny body; this species has a habit of sitting perfectly still on a perch before flying quickly down to snag and eat an insect, then flying back to a perch where it again remains motionless for a time.
