@Lats @dianea Weirdly the only one listed here with a white beak is either the Aussie one or the Magpie Lark:

I think I may looked a the wrong examples. Charles Davis is great at capturing the moment and this one is better.

Out Of The Darkness - Charles Davis Photography

The only way to get an image like this is to be hit head-on! The magpie swooped from the opposite side of the road while I was taking another photo. In my fluster, I forgot to change my camera settings. This photo is a testament that great things can come from mistakes. Location: Canberra, ACT
