Return visit with partner

The ripening fruits on the Strawberry Guava Psidium cattleianum are proving attractive to the bower birds, the Regent and the Satin, but this visit it was the female bird that I noticed in the bush feeding on a piece of fruit.


However it until I looked at the photo I wasn't sure which species, as both are brownish but the Regent has the black patch on the crown and the mottled back where as the Satin is more olive coloured and mottled on the breast.

Shortly after she was joined by the male back to enjoy the fruit.
