Shorty, your home is a constant source of surprises. - The cleanly spotted wings with no sign of juv barring suggest an adult bird. They are extremely variable as noted in HANZAB,
with ‘orange-buff’ underparts at one end of the range. Of the ACT photos in Cornell Lab your bird could win the prize for darkest underparts, but there are similar ones from Queensland.
