Hi,
Just did a web search and found this one:
http://www.listeningearth.com.au/audio/tawny_crowns.mp3 (its 900kb)
I think its close to this, so just I'll leave it as TC Honeyeater,
since I saw a a fair few of them at around the same time. It was
raising more with more breaks between, but its close enough.
Regards,
Vin.
