Striated Pardalote (Pardalotus striatus)

The Striated Pardalote (Pardalotus striatus) is the least colourful and most common of the four pardalote species.  This little guy from Karara sure knew how to show himself off to good advantage – like a supermodel he showed his best profile, both sides and his gorgeous wings up!
