I thought the same as what Geoffrey thought (for the same reasons), on first looking. As another suggestion mainly for the newbies among us, of what most will come to see as obvious: Buff-rumped Thornbills and Yellow-rumped Thornbills and indeed any of the local Thornbills species and Weebills often associate together in mixed species flocks (although each differs a little bit in the way they use the habitat). So a note for newbies; once you have identified one or two individual birds of such a flock, don't be too confused if another bird appears to be of a different species. If you think it is a different species, it is very likely that you will be right.
