Well the rufous call is very different to the Golden so given the inland location I'd now say Rufous minus rufous pigmentation, What's the word for 'lacking rufous':?.
Coastal whistlers have quite different calls.

Blackheath is in the Blue Mountains, 110km west of Sydney. Elevation around 1000m.

 

Yes, call heard clearly (and have it on video). To my ear it is carbon copy of Rufous Whistler.

No idea where Blackheath is ( I know the London one). Looks like a Golden minus yellow. Don't suppose you heard it call at all?

Here’s a snap (only slightly more than 200kb) of the bird seen at Blackheath 

Thoughts?
