Lalage [leucomela or conjuncta] (Varied or St Matthias Triller)

Varied or St Matthias Triller

Lalage [leucomela or conjuncta] (= Lalage leucomela) (Vigors, NA; Horsfield, T 1827)

The varied triller like its better-known relative the white-winged triller, is a smaller member of the cuckoo-shrike family, Campephagidae. Varied trillers prefer warm, reasonably moist environments and are found in New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, along much of the tropical and sub-tropical coastal hinterland of eastern Australia, from about the Sydney area to the tip of Cape York Peninsula, in the moister part of the Kimberley, and throughout the Top End.
