Id Hlep Please

Yes I think you're right Philip.

For some reason the head just didn't look right to me. I always think of whistlers as having quite thick, chunky heads but this one looked finer than I would expect. It's probably just the angle of the photo. An adult male was in the vicinity.

Cheers

Good photos but a rather non distinctive bird. On shape and modest stripey appearance, I suggest a young Rufous Whistler.

Hi All,

 

I took these photos of a bird at Campbell Park today and am stumped as to an Id.

 

The photos were taken in the vicinity of woodswallows, flycatchers, thornbills, brown-headed honeyeaters, varied sittellas, rufous whistler and some thornbills and I took many photos in a short period of time.

 

I actually have no recollection of this particular bird. It wasn't close (photos savagely cropped). As a result I can't really give any indication of size. I'm sure it is something common, possibly a younger bird (slight yellow tinge to gape) and it was high up in the tree.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

Julie
