I posted a note in June about an Inland Thornbill imitating a Grey
Honeyeater near Yalgoo (between Geraldton and Mount Magnet well north of Perth).

Today I was showing a visitor around Bungendore State Forest when I heard an
Elegant Parrot.  I traced the tree where the call was coming from but no
sign of the bird.  We went around the Marri tree from all angles when
finally I saw an Inland Thornbill making the call.  A very very good
resemblance of the call.
