Two subspecies are recognised; the #NorthernYellowRobin (subsp. #EopsaltriaAustralisChrysorrhoa ) and the nominate or #EasternYellowRobinsSeria (subsp. #EopsaltriaAustralisAustralisSeria ). The former was previously regarded as a separate species and called the southern yellow robin. Alternatively, the eastern and western yellow robins were classified as a single species by Julian Ford in 1979 on account of similarities in calls, ecology and behaviour. Playback of one species' calls in the other's territory evoked a response. Like all #AustralianRobins, it is not closely related to either the #EuropeanRobin or the #AmericanRobin, but belongs rather to the Corvida parvorder comprising many tropical and Australian passerines including pardalotes, fairy-wrens and honeyeaters as well as crows. It belongs to the genus Eopsaltria, whose Australian members are known colloquially as "yellow robins" as distinct from the "red robins" of the genus Petroica. #BirdsSeria #RobinsSeria #AustralianBirdsSeria #AustralianAnimalsSeria #AustralianRobinsSeria #EasternAustralianBirdsSeria #EasternAustralianAnimalsSeria #EasternAustralianRobinsSeria #EasternYellowRobinsSeria #17December2017Seria #17DecemberSeria 2017DecemberSeria 2017SundaySeria (Australian Bird,s)
