Tawny frogmouth Tawny frogmouth The tawny frogmouth ("Podargus strigoides") is a species of frogmouth native to and found throughout the Australian mainland and Tasmania. Tawny frogmouths are big-headed, stocky birds often mistaken for owls due to their nocturnal habits and similar colouring. The tawny frogmouth is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "mopoke", a common name for the southern boobook, whose call is often confused with the tawny frogmouth's. The tawny frogmouth was first described in 1801 by English naturalist John Latham. Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin "strix" meaning "owl" and "oides" meaning "form". Tawny frogmouths belong to the frogmouth
