I'm just gonna "wing it"

Jacky Winter (Microeca fascinans)?

 

[WhistlingKite24]

Australian Reed-Warbler ? Or rufous fairy-wren?

A species of honeyeater?

No and no.

Jacky Winter (Microeca fascinans)?

No, not a Jacky Winter.

 

[Jungle Man]

No, not a Jacky Winter.

This is really a difficult one, it is at the same level as @birdsandbats Northern Cardinal.

That awkward moment when you realise the one person who could get us out of this jam (due to their unrivalled skills in bird ID) is precisely the person who set the puzzle.

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Microeca species?

 

[WhistlingKite24]

Microeca species?

Nope.

Another Clue: The bird in the image is a female; the male of this species looks very different.

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

I’d got that far! I am thinking some kind of Aussie Robin...

 

[amur leopard]

Grey whistler or Golden whistler?

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Female Rose Robin?

Grey whistler or Golden whistler?

I did think it was a Grey whistler and added the Golden whistler in for the fun of it because I remember your avatar was one of them (I think that very photo..?).

How I was thinking of doing a juvenile seagull species (*evil laugh*) but instead I've gone for this: (*evil laugh intensifies* )

 

[Dassie rat]

South Island robin

 

[amur leopard]

South Island robin

Nope

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Screaming Piha?

 

[amur leopard]

Screaming Piha?

Nope. This one's difficult, so I'll say it's an Old World Flycatcher (*evil laugh*)

White-eyed Slaty flycatcher? Or Dark-sided Flycatcher? Brown breastfed flycatcher?

 

[amur leopard]

White-eyed Slaty flycatcher? Or Dark-sided Flycatcher? Brown breastfed flycatcher?

Oooh well done indeed. The first one is correct.

 

[Jungle Man]

Oooh well done indeed. The first one is correct.

I knew it. For the next challenge, I will choose a reptile:

 

[CheeseChameleon1945]

Is it in the clade, Iguanaomorpha?
