The male has a white face bordered by a black breast band. It is insectivorous. TaxonomyJardine and P.J.Selby described the white-fronted chat in 1828 as Acanthiza albifrons.[2] Lesson described it in 1844 as Fluvicola leucocephala, and Brehm as Cinura torquata in 1845.[2]The species is monotypic; that is, no subspecies are recognised. Tasmanian birds were thought to have longer bills but this has not been borne out on further investigation.[3] This species has collected many vernacular names: Gould called it white-fronted epthianura in 1848, a direct translation of its Latin name, while from its distinctive call were derived the names (banded) tintack, gar, and tang, and the males' resemblance to a nun's habit led to the name (white-fronted) nun, similarly baldyhead, baldy, ringneck and singlebar come from its appearance. The derivation of others, such as clipper and tripper, is unclear.[4] DescriptionAdult white-fronted chats are 11–13 cm in length and weigh 13 g. The male has a white face and breast bordered by a black band across the breast and back.[7] The upperparts are grey, and wings and tail are brown, and abdomen is white. The eyes are white, whereas the eyes of the female are brown. The female has brown upperparts and white underparts with a faint darker breast band.[5] The call, a tang sound, has been likened to the twanging of a rubber band.[7] Distribution and habitatIt is endemic to Australia, being found across southern Australia (including Tasmania) from Shark Bay in Western Australia around to the Queensland/New South Wales border.[6] The white-fronted chat has been listed as vulnerable in New South Wales,[7] and threatened in the Adelaide-Mount Lofty region of South Australia, where it has become much rarer,[8] though is listed globally as least concern.[1] It is generally sedentary, though may be nomadic in more arid parts of its range.[6] References1. ^1 {{IUCN|id=22704484 |title=Epthianura albifrons |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q941879}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/topics/science-and-research/abrs/databases-and-online-resources/taxa/Epthianura_(Epthianura)_albifrons |title=Species Epthianura (Epthianura) albifrons (Jardine & Selby, 1828)|author=Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts|date=30 August 2011|work=Australian Biological Resources Study: Australian Faunal Directory|publisher=Commonwealth of Australia|accessdate=1 April 2014}} 3. ^{{cite book | last = Schodde | first = Richard | last2 = Mason | first2 = Ian J. | year = 1999 | title = The Directory of Australian Birds: Passerines | publisher = CSIRO Publishing | location = Melbourne | isbn = 978-0-643-06456-0 | oclc = 499953986 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=XXbJoaGF36YC&pg=PT455&dq=%22Epthianura+albifrons%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8kM9U9-APNDwlAWC24GwAg&ved=0CEIQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22Epthianura%20albifrons%22&f=false }} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Fraser |first=Ian |author2=Gray, Jeannie |title=Australian Bird Names; a complete guide|page=208 |publisher=CSIRO Publishing|year=2013|isbn=9780643104693|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W1TCqHVWQp0C&pg=PT240&dq=Epthianura+albifrons&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MEk9U9mQDMmBlQXl_YGAAQ&ved=0CE4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=Epthianura%20albifrons&f=false}} 5. ^{{cite book |title=A Field Guide to Australian Birds:Non-passerines |last=Slater |first=Peter|year=1974 |publisher=Rigby |location=Adelaide |isbn=0-85179-813-6|page=199}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://birdsinbackyards.net/species/Epthianura-albifrons|title=White-fronted Chat|work=Birds in Backyards|publisher=Birdlife Australia|accessdate=3 April 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/determinations/whitefrontedchatvsFD.htm|title=White-fronted Chat Epthianura albifrons (Jardine & Selby, 1828) - vulnerable species listing|last=Major|first=Richard |date=28 February 2011|work=NSW Scientific Committee - Determinations|publisher=NSW Govt Office of Environment and Heritage|accessdate=1 April 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/...a25b.../pa-fact-whitefrontedchat.pdf |title=Epthianura albifrons |author1=Biodiversity Conservation Unit |author2=Adelaide Region |date=May 2008|work=Threatened Species - Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges|publisher=Department for Conservation and Heritage, SA Government|accessdate=3 April 2014}} 6 : Epthianura|Birds of South Australia|Birds of Tasmania|Birds described in 1828|Endemic fauna of Australia|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
