I never thought I would have any problem with this, but as I can't see the eye, red or brown?,is it a Brown Thornbill ? (I think it is...) Anybody thinks differently??

Looks like a brown Thornbill to me,M-L.
That's what I thought, thanks Nathan.

Brown Thornbill... The eye colour isn't really a reliable ID key. Try to focus on the typical fluffy facial feathers of thornbills... In this case, Striated TB has a fluffy eyebrow and bolder streaks...

Hmmm, this one is??? Brown Thornbill

Yes, this one is also a Brown Thornbill M-L.
Striated Thornbill would have much more obvious streaks around the breast and eyes and would also have more olive tones.
Cheers, Owen.
Thanks Owen, streaks like in this rather bad photo, because I zoomed in too much?
(just wanted to bring out the streaks)
M-L
Yes, like this guy
Cheers, Owen.
