From what I can make out of it, I’s go for an immature or female Satin Bowerbird.

Dear folk,
At first I thought this distant bird was a starling, and took little notice, but then it looked somehow different. Autofocus could not cope with all the leaves around, and as I reached
for the manual focus switch it flew off. Ah well, such is the lot of bird photographers.
Is it a juvenile starling? The striations/speckles seem too definite a pattern for a starling to me.

Many thanks
