triangulated [rufous whistler, ssp. P. r. rufiventris] (details)
male plumage. ashfield flats, western australia.
female peewee [magpie-lark, ssp. G. c. cyanoleuca] (details)
the magpie-lark can sometimes be mistaken for an australian magpie, and indeed they can both be found on short grass. but this species has a smaller body and beak, much lighter coloured iris, and completely black on the back of the head (no white).
males have a black face and white eyebrow, and females have a white face and no eyebrow, so this is a female.

raptor in cocky’s clothing [australian hobby] (details)
the hobby is a falcon (Falco longipennis), and falcons are more closely related to cockatoos and other parrots than they are to the other raptors (birds of prey). can you see it in their beak? or their tail, which to me has a striking resemblance to that of a female red-tailed black cockatoo?
