Can someone help me identify a wallaby please?
Just walking on Mt Taylor in the gully behind Torrens. A single wallaby with very light to white coloured chest, red or rusty back (not all over but down the sides) with a white stripe down the side of its face. We have never seen anything but Greys up there and there were lots of Greys down on the flats today. But this was very shy, and in quite a ruggard section of the gully and hopped into more rugged parts. Definitely wallaby size.
Comments??

PS no birds, but it was very late. A Butcher bird calling in the distance, probably the same one I heard early this morning. My wife said she saw a thornbill size bird with nest building materials cross the path and dive into the low grass or bush this morning.
