Brown Songlark

Cincloramphus cruralis (Vigors, NA; Horsfield, T 1827)

The brown songlark, also Australian songlark, is a small passerine bird found throughout much of Australia. A member of the family Locustellidae, this species is notable for sexual size dimorphism, among the most pronounced in any bird. It is a moderate-sized bird of nondescript plumage; the female brownish above and paler below, the larger male a darker brown. Source: Wikipedia
