Pachycephala pectoralis fuliginosa [incl. occidentalis] (= Pachycephala pectoralis fuliginosa) Vigors, NA; Horsfield, T 1827

The western whistler is a species of bird in the family Pachycephalidae found in southwest Australia. Prior to 2015, the western whistler was considered as a subspecies of the Australian golden whistler until recognized as a separate species following molecular studies that suggested a closer relationship to the mangrove golden whistler species complex.
