Mabye A Robin

I was in the bush the other day when a bird flew right up to me, checked me out then flew away. I thought mabye a robin but I couldn't find it in my book. It was a plain grey bird with white front and belly. On it's belly there were bold striations. Any guidence or help would be much apprectiated.

Thanks!

Maybe a speckled warbler? Striated thornbill?

Hi QLDBird,
.
Maybe a Grey Fantail?
They're very curious little fellows, and not particularly scared of people.

Hi,you didn't say how big the bird was the description and behavior fit a barred cuckoo-shrike there bigger than a robin but they will fly straight up and check you out!
The only other that comes to mind is a varied sittlla
