G'day Jonny,
I sent my reply to Chris via Denise's post without seeing yours first.
However my vote would still be for a pale Brown Falcon.
I can see the tear drop face mark of a Falcon within the blur, and
structurally the tail doesn't look quite long enough with a rather long
outer wing held in a rather pointed shape, this doesn't work well for me as
an Accipiter. The contrast of the dark features in the lesser under-wing
coverts and the patch at the position of the thigh also seem a better fit to
me for Brown Falcon.
Cheers Jeff.

Hi Chris,
Brown Goshawk Accipiter fasciatus it is. That's why you couldn't find any
yellow (which you would have found if it was a Grey Falcon).
Cheers,
Jonny
