Description
The chiming wedgebill, sometimes referred to as chiming whipbird (Psophodes occidentalis) is a species of bird in the family Psophodidae. It is endemic to Australia. The chiming wedgebill and chirruping wedgebill (Psophodes occidentalis) were considered to be a single species until as late as 1973, when they were separated due to marked differences in their calls. The chiming wedgebill makes a cooing sound during mating.

Its preferred habitats are characterized by the presence of acacia, with a particular affinity for Acacia aneura, as well as broombush, mallee, and spinifex.
