Here is an email that I sent privately to Greg earlier today. My comments
about Spinifexbirds have since been supported  independently by those of
Jeff and John.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Greg,

It's definitely not a Spinifexbird. I researched the physiological ecology
of this species on Barrow Island from 1990-93. Spinifexbirds have lighter
underparts and the tail length is longer. It's also very rare to see a
Spinifexbird in such an exposed location (at top of a dead branch). I
actually thought it was a Brown Songlark rather than Rufous.

Cheers,
Stephen
