Although I have never seen a Spinifexbird in the wild I also firstly thought
of that species.  The tail appears too long for a Rufous Songlark.  It is
very dark for a Rufous Songlark and the photo of the Spinifexbird in the
Readers Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds show a dark bird like the
one in the photo.
