Talk:Red-browed finch

Redirect needed

Can someone please create a redirect to here from Firetail Finch, which is a well-recognized alternative common name? (I don't know how to do that). There is also a critter called the Diamond Firetail but that's not the same guy as this one. Old_Wombat (talk) 13:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, might need a bit of tweaking, more than just a redirect. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:13, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

south-west of South Australia

In the Taxonomy section it says this bird (or a subspecies) is found in the south-west of South Australia. I don't know for sure, and i can't check the reference cited, but i think it is much more likely to be the south-east of South Australia. Could someone with the right books please check this? Thanks. 110.145.147.110 (talk) 06:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

The red-browed finch (Neochmia temporalis) is a species of estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia. The species is distinguished by the bright red stripe above the eye, and bright red rump. The rest of the body is grey, with olive wing coverts and collar. Juveniles do not have red brow marks, and they lack olive colouration on the collar and wing coverts. The adults are 11 to 12 centimetres (4.3 to 4.7 inches) long. This red-browed finch was photographed in Penrith, New South Wales.
