Hi David
I agree with Graeme Chapman in that the bill gives it away. This includes a
fine detail, the nostrils. Much too long for any Colluricincla species,
including Little Shrike-thrush.
Your bird is a Rockwarbler, as Carol Probets, too, pointed out.
Cheers,
Jonny

Hi all, I was itting quietly in the Blue Mountains National Park at Pierces
Pass Picnic Area minding my own business when I snapped several photos of
this honeyeater, circa 18 cm in length. What hit me was its very coppery
brown colour. I thought it might be a Brown Honeyeater but cannot see any
yellow behind its eye and it seems more "rufously" than the Brown (in my
VERY limited experience). Any ideas from these rather poor photos? A female
something?
Thanks in advance
