The Chestnut-rumped Heathwren (*Hylacola pyrrhopygia*) is a shy, ground-dwelling bird found in the dense undergrowth of southeastern Australia’s heathlands, forests, and woodlands. More often heard than seen, it moves quietly through low shrubs and thick vegetation, making sightings a rewarding challenge for birdwatchers.
