Hi, this is the only colour Lyrebirds come in! There are two species and only live in Australia and are both similar colour. Let me know if you know of a similar bird as I would be interested.

Nice shot, you are very lucky to capture these birds in the wild. I have one shot of one bathing but it was captured at Taronga Zoo.
