1. Astur cruentus (West Australian Goshawk) = Accipiter fasciatus (brown goshawk)

The brown goshawk (Accipiter fasciatus) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. The brown goshawk is widespread through Australia, Wallacea, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. Its upperparts are grey with a chestnut collar; its underparts are mainly rufous, finely barred with white.

2. Accipiter torquatus (Collared Sparrow-Hawk) = Accipiter cirrocephalus (collared sparrowhawk)

The collared sparrowhawk (Accipiter cirrocephalus) is a small, slim bird of prey in the family Accipitridae found in Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands. As its name implies the collared sparrowhawk is a specialist in hunting small birds. It is characterised by its slight brow ridges and slender feet. The last segment of their middle toe projects beyond the claws of the other toes.
