Grey-headed robin

The grey-headed robin (Heteromyias cinereifrons) is a species of bird in the family Petroicidae.

Previously, it and the ashy robin from New Guinea were treated as one species and known as Heteromyias albispecularis.

[3][4] Sibley and Ahlquist's DNA-DNA hybridisation studies placed this group in a Corvida parvorder comprising many tropical and Australian passerines, including pardalotes, fairy-wrens, honeyeaters, and crows.

Spider webs are used for binding or filling, and strips of fern and palm for lining; the outside is decorated by dried vegetation.

The eggs are buff, cream- or dark greenish-white, and marked with light brown splotches and spots, usually concentrated around the large end, and they measure 26 by 19 mm.
