We have seen good pics of the nominate race of Splendid Fairywren (Maturus splendens) from Western Aust. I got sightings and pics of another race (Maturus melanotous) or Black-backed FW at Pulletop NR near Rankins Springs NSW last weekend.

Wow, what a stunning little guy. Great you were able to get such beautiful shots of him - thanks for sharing these, one I have definitely not seen "in the feather" myself.

Wow, beuatiful photos. I hadn't realised they were found in NSW (I had thought they were a WA special). Looks like I was really wrong!
I wonder why their range breaks so neatly into three areas?
yes, I now have the 2 races, just need to get race musgravi from SA

poor little guy looks like he needs a feed, great pics.
