The hooded robin (Melanodryas cucullata) is a small passerine bird native to Australia. Like many brightly coloured robins in the family Petroicidae, it is sexually dimorphic; the male bears a distinctive black-and-white plumage, while the female is a nondescript greyish-brown. These male (top) and female (bottom) hooded robins were photographed in Glen Davis, New South Wales.
