The Tropical Scrubwren or Beccari's Scrubwren (Sericornis beccarii) is a bird species. Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now known to be wrong; they rather belong to the independent family Acanthizidae.
It is found in tropical moist forests of northern AustraliaIndonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
It is now[when?] considered conspecific with the Large-billed ScrubwrenS. magnirostris.
