Garden Birds - problem with identification

["John Gable" <>]

Hi

I am new to this list so I hope this message is appropriate.

I live in Northern NSW, near Mullumbimby and Byron Bay and have a lot of
birds in the garden.
So far I have Identified about 40 birds but am having trouble identifying
one of them.

The bird looks like a robin or a gerygone.
Bright red eye line.
Light blue breast.
Greenish wing.
Small beak.
Red rump
Rest of the body a brownish grey
10 - 12 cm
Fast erratic movements as it feeds.
Moves similiar to Fairy wrens (Have both superb and red-backed) and they
often feed with the wrens.
Tail is dark and points down (unlike the wrens).


Currently using the Pizzey/Knight Field Guide and I've had a quick look in
several others but can't find this bird.
Any ideas??

Thanks

John Gable
