Data base (Megalurus cruralis)

Lost in the crash. This was a new bird for me, our farm and BF, so it was a great way to start the year. Male brown songlark (songbird) is the only Australian bird with with fawn crown contrasted with sooty-brown face and breast.

Thanks everyone, we've been on the farm for 20 years and hadn't spotted them before. They are so hard to spot in the grass. Only got close because we were in a car and for the first time we saw one on a post.
