Vin,
Did you note the call? The Buff-rumped sounds very like a rather
coarser Yellow-rumped, and I've always used this to confirm sightings of
Buff-rumped. Very useful to learn all the calls - saves a lot of time.

Wouldn't they be more likely Brown Thornbill (or inland, depending where
you are), as they can have both a deep rufous-brown rump and a rufous
forehead (depending on the individual bird)? Buff-rumped is nothing
like chestnut-rumped; the rump colours are very different.
Well they had a white eye. which rules out the Inland/Brown.
The rump of definitely chestnut but had a rufuous crown and
white eyes. Was very pale, more pale below than any buff rumps
I have seen.
I dont have photos of it.
