Absolutely!
The lyrebird has a different timbre to its voice.
It also helps when the lyrebird runs through its repertoire; the likelihood of several birds of various different species all being in exactly the same place at the same time is fairly low. Also you can often tell where the bird call is coming from; that can eliminate the possibility of it being a lyrebird. You might also see the calling bird in silhouette or only very briefly, but enough to get an idea of its size and shape.
Cheers,
Merrilyn
