I think that would be a fowl tick.

G'day all
I called into the Trawalla State Forest (a few km east of Beaufort in
western Victoria) to check if Satin Flycatchers had returned (they had
and I saw several at close quarters). A large, moving object caught
my eye at one point and walking towards me through the box forest was
a Red Junglefowl. This was a resplendent male with white and cream
plumage and magnificent red comb and wattles. It eventually wandered
right up to me in response to my 'chook chook' calls. When I walked
away it gave a crow and proceeded to forage in the forest. I suspect
you would have to be quick to twitch it - no doubt it will be a meal
for a fox in no time.
Cheers
