hi Mike, it probably is a young bird - I couldn't increase the size of the
image above thumb-nail size to get a really good look at it! I went with adult
female due to more brownish wing feathers on the bird in the in the image, and
I've seen ad females with pale bill-bases often too after breeding season. but
u would have had a better look at a larger image, so whatever u think...
cheers, Martin Cachard

Hi Martin, Whilst I agree that it is a Rufous Whistler because the bill is
yellow rather than black I would favour juvenile rather than adult.

I hope it is OK to post this mail.
Could anyone help me with the identification of the bird captured in the
attached photo? Taken 28 September at Dangars Falls area of the Oxley Wild
Rivers National Park. Bird is circa 14 cm.
Many thanks in advance
