The pied butcherbird (Cracticus nigrogularis) is a songbird native to Australia. Initially described by John Gould in 1837, it is a black-and-white bird 28 to 32 cm (11 to 12.5 in) long with a long, hooked bill. Its head and throat are black, making a distinctive hood; the mantle and much of the tail and wings are also black. The neck, underparts, and outer wing feathers are white. The juvenile and immature birds are predominantly brown and white. As they mature, black feathers replace their brown feathers. Wikipedia →
