I posted this photo on FlickR of a bird I photographed at Callum Brae and called a striated thornbill.

One person has said “no”, that it is a yellow thornbill.

Would like to know your opinion, please COG members.

It's a Yellow Thornbill:

Yellow Thornbill are found mostly in dry forests of eastern Australia. This is one thornbill that is well named. It’s almost completely plain yellow and olive in colour.

Compared to the other ‘yellowish’ thornbills, there is much less contrast about the face. The cheeks are finely streaked like a Striated Thornbill but otherwise, there is no breast-streaking or chestnut markings in the head area.
