Description
The western fieldwren (Calamanthus montanellus) is a species of bird in the family Acanthizidae, endemic to southwestern Australia. It is often considered a subspecies (Calamanthus campestris montanellus) of the rufous fieldwren (C. campestris), most notably by Christidis and Boles in their 2008 work, but as a separate species by many other authorities including the IOC.

Western Fieldwren is typically found in dry, open environments. Its preferred habitats include mallee, coastal heaths, and shrublands abundant with various shrub species like paperbarks, Allocasuarina, and acacias.
