ID please

Yes that is another option. The reason I did not mention rock dove option is only due to the mention of The nest was in the middle of the road having
fallen from a Eucalypt and I don’t know of them nesting in a tree.

I think the chick is a rock dove.  The beak and the scrappy yellow 'fluff' is indicative of a rock dove.

IMHO

could leave this one to suffer the same fate. Possibly Red Wattlebird?
