I'm going through the photos of my WA trip, hoping to identify some of the birds that were doubtful at the time.  Some still mystify me so seeking help.  I'd appreciate any thoughts from the information available in the image ...

This bird was seen at Lyndhurst Station in SA where I was obviously (and vainly) looking for a Chestnut-breasted Whiteface.  I suppose it's a Quail-thrush, but what sort of Quail-thrush is it?  It's way out of range for a Spotted. Just about in range for Chestnut and right in range for Cinnamon.  But the plumage that's visible looks more like a Spotted than either of the others. 

Can anyone throw any light?

Thanks
Julian
