I replied to Ken last night. The bird is a juvenile Western Gerygone moulting out of its juvenile plumage – you can still just see faint yellowish in the plumage around the face and, especially in the first photo, on the wings.

 

Juvenile Brown-headed Honeyeaters are duller versions of adults  but with a caramel brown crown.

Not certain but I suggest a juvenile Brown-headed Honeyeater.
