The Spinifexbird occurs in Australia's arid regions and is associated with grasslands. A Barrow Island bird guide describes its reddish-brown plumage, spinifex habitat, and diet of insects and seeds.
Its upperparts are reddish brown, with a rich brown forehead. The underside is white and the tail is long and dark brown.
It uses spinifex and dense grass, feeding mainly on insects and seeds. Its deep grass nest is built close to the ground.
