hooded robin
The hooded robin (''Melanodryas cucullata'') is a small passerine bird native to Australia. Like many brightly coloured robins of the Petroicidae it is sexually dimorphic; the male bearing distinctive black and white coloured plumage, while the female is a nondescript grey-brown.
==Taxonomy==
Like all Australian robins, it is not closely related to either the European robin or the American robin, but belongs rather to the Corvida parvorder comprising many tropical and Australian passerines including pardalotes, Fairy-wrens and honeyeaters as well as crows. Initially thought to be related to Old World flycatchers, it was described as ''Muscicapa cucullata'' by ornithologist John Latham in 1802.〔Latham, J. (1802). ''Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici, sive Systematis Ornithologiae''. London: G. Leigh, J. & S. Sotheby 74 pp. ()〕
Later described as ''Grallina bicolor'' by Nicholas Aylward Vigors and Thomas Horsfield,〔Vigors, N.A. & Horsfield, T. (1827). A description of the Australian birds in the collection of the Linnean Society; with an attempt at arranging them according to their natural affinities.''Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond.'' 15: 170-331 ()〕 it was later placed in the genus ''Petroica'' for many years before being transferred to ''Melanodryas''.
