Slightly out of area (near the Cascades campground in Wadbilliga National Park), this female Spotted Quail-thrush was cooperative enough to capture the contact calls on the video https://www.hbw.com/ibc/1564807 . The contact call is fairly quiet and high pitch so some people may not be able to hear it. I hope it might help people those who can hear it locate this species. The bird has more streaking on the throat than indicated in the field guides I have but I do not know this species well enough to know if this is significant and the field guides do not help.
