The Black-faced Woodswallow is a compact, robust woodswallow with gray plumage, a black face and throat, and a short, stout bill. It is widespread across mainland Australia and southern New Guinea, occupying open woodland, mallee scrub, and arid grasslands. It feeds aerially on insects, often perching communally on exposed branches or wires and huddling together for warmth.
