I was
wondering if it could be a moulting adult male but surely too scruffy for that
and all its tail fathers are new. So a very young bird, probably just out of
nest, looks far more likely, clearly still growing feathers and maybe some downy
feathers still on head. A better clue though is I think it has the fleshy gape
of a young bird.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Southern Emu-wren @ Port Macquarie I took this shot the other week and have been searching online
trying to find out info on the juveniles but with no luck.
Hoping the experts here could enlighten me if it is indeed a juvenile, my
thoughts are yes. I am putting a link to the pic in question as i don't want to
loose any detail by sizing it down for this site.
Thanks in advance.
