Well done Allen!
A while back there was a very cute photo of a family of Blue Jays going
around. Only trouble was, the kids were exactly the same colour as the
adults, but a lot smaller! In fact of course, kids are a different
colour but the same size!
So welcome to our new world! Just as technological advances bring us to
the point where it is now vastly easier to see what a bird really looked
like, unfiltered by our personal prejudices, we now have to face the
fact that we can no longer trust anything someone shows us! It's like a
metaphor for the whole Internet. Just as it opened up unprecedented
channels of communication and information, it abruptly filled up with
nonsense!
Oh well...
Cheers, Chris.

Allen,
That looks like a perfect match! A google image search indeed shows the
bird but obviously in grey/gray (e.g.
http://www.pbase.com/james_lowen/image/82538827). The alula and black mask
are diagnostic.
I am flabbergasted by the efforts of someone using photoshop to
deliberately mislead people.
Well done, and thanks for your help!
Cheers
Anthony

Anthony,
It has the look of a South American bird, Masked Gnatcatcher, with all the
grays shifted to blues. Looks the wrong shape for any Fairy-Wren.
