Double-barred finch

Double-barred finch drinking IMG 3778 - A white face surrounded with a black band has earned this Australian native finch the colloquial name of ‘owl-faced finch’, and it’s the second black band across its white chest that has led to it being christened with the more familiar name of ‘double-barred finch’. This tiny bird was drinking from a bird bath in the photographer's extensive bushland garden.
