The Collared Sparrowhawk is an uncommon but widespread small Accipiter with a gray head and upperparts separated by a rufous collar, and barred rufous underparts. This species is found across New Guinea, Australia (except much of interior), and Tasmania. It frequents forests and open woodlands, where it hunts primarily small birds.
