Female Superb Fairy-wren

Females such as this one are mostly brown with a dull red-orange area around the eye and a brown bill. Females have a pale greenish gloss, absent in young birds, on the otherwise brown tail. The legs are brown in both sexes.

You will find Superb Fairy-wrens south of the Tropic of Capricorn throughout eastern Australia and Tasmania, and to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.
