The Striated Fieldwren, Calamanthus fuliginosus, is a little studied bird despite its distribution being primarily in populous south-eastern Australia. On Rotamah Island and Little Rotamah Island it is associated almost entirely with saltmarsh areas where there are sedges and reeds present, only occasionally venturing into nearby Melaleuca ericifolia thickets. The bird is often obvious in its presence, particularly during the breeding season when it sings from the tops of reeds. More

The Striated Fieldwren is a small (140 mm), skulking, cock-tailed, wren-like bird of coastal heaths. It is tawny-olive in colour, paler below, and distinctively streaked with black all over. The cocked tail has a whitish tip. The male is distinguished by having white eye-brows, lores and throat. These are shades of brown on the female. The song is strong and whirring, with individuals usually calling from the tops of bushes. More

The Striated Fieldwren sensu stricto (family Acanthizidae) is a small (12 cm), scrubwren-like, olive-brown songbird, heavily streaked, with a pale eyebrow and a cocked tail. It is darker and more olive than the Rufous Fieldwren, and occupies coastal rather than arid habitats. It is smaller and more streaked than the Eastern Bristlebird, and has a shorter tail with a white tip. It is more streaked than scrubwrens and heathwrens, and lacks the heathwrens’ bright rufous rump. The Little Grassbird has a longer, unmarked tail. More
