Many thanks to all (Marnix, Anthony, John) for instant assistance with this query:
unanimous - Jacky Winter.
Useful hints- moving tails from side to side; white flashes from white outer tail feathers; faint white eyebrow; and short black bill.
Habit of sitting on fences.... old names for it are postsitter or stumpbird! (thanks Anthony)

Walking through Campbell Park this morning, at the northeast edge I saw two small birds briefly on the wire fence.
One I assume is a juvenile, the other a female? Any suggestions re ID most welcome.

This is what I think is a juvenile.

and the two together...
