Olive-backed Oriole
The Olive-backed Oriole is a medium-sized songbird found across coastal and inland regions of northern and eastern Australia, as well as parts of New Guinea. With its olive-green head and back, grey wings and tail, and cream underparts streaked with dark markings, this oriole is easily recognised by its bright red eye and pinkish-red bill. It is the most widespread oriole species in Australia and is well known for its clear, melodious calls.
