I was able to find the right sub-species scientific name: Gymnorhina tibicen leuconota or the White-Backed Magpie occupies large areas of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. It interbreeds successfully with the Black-Backed Magpie. The information came from: http://trevorsbirding.com/australian-magpies/ Also this is a female. :-)
