Four species of estrildid finch
Steve Schoech

Four species of estrildid finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii, Lonchura castaneothorax, Neochmia ruficauda, Poephila acuticauda)

It's amazing what will come into a waterhole in the Kimberly. And, this wasn't even during the driest time. Too bad the double-barred (or owl) finch wouldn't come into the field of view.

I agree about the DBF.
It would have been superb if it had come to the waterline.
Still a great photo though and all very nice species of birds!

thanks for sharing.
