Identification

Distribution

Present species is endemic to Australia.

Taxonomy

Also known as Australian Kite. This taxon has been split from Elanus caeruleus which is called Black-winged Kite in Opus, however, several taxonomic authorities still use the name Black-shouldered Kite for Elanus caeruleus. There is therefore lots of confusion in the naming of these species.
