My first impression is a female Mistletoebird, based on the beak is far too broad for a Gerygone. Also it doesn't show face markings or eye colour of a Gerygone. If the slight hint showing of red under the tail is real, then it certainly is a female Mistletoebird. The odd upside down pose is I suspect rather more likely for a Mistletoebird than for a Gerygone. Size of both is similar.

        I took this photo this afternoon at Campbell Park, Could somebody help with ID please.My thoughts are a Western Gerygone, it was certainly the same size as a White-throated Gerygone.
