Bird in Mackay wetlands

I had a look at a little shrike-thrush, thought that the beak might be a bit too fat. We haven't seen one of those before. Thanks for looking at it for me, you will probably turn out to be right (again!!). Wish we had been able to get a better shot - it was fairly poor light, and of course the bird didn't co-operate. My book doesn't have a frontal pic showing the greyish tail.

Thanks Andy - yes, I do like trying to identify the birds, we do enjoy finding new ones - on the Mackay trip we found six that we hadn't previously seen, one was the Wompoo fruit dove which tried quite sucessfully to hide, but we could see enough to identify the red beak and red eyes, and the lovely purple breast and green wings - mostly bits in different pics, but still we will go back (when our 'new' secondhand car is finished with the bits we are putting on it) and try to get a proper sighting. Such a pretty bird but so good at hiding around branches. Also saw nutmeg mannikins, yellow honeyeaters (not good pics but see-able), plumed whistling ducks, and what used to be called Burdekin ducks, but are now apparently Rajah Shelducks. We have just bought a Falcon wagon (2007) and we are getting gas put on it - so much cheaper and our current Falcon runs so well on it, we had to put it on the new one. When that is all done we will be able to explore the country much less expensively. We want to find the Wandering Whistling ducks.

I have been on Facebook, the site got hacked into with nasty repercussions (made it look as if all sorts of messages were sent under my name) so have left it alone for some time. Have been back once - I guess I can try again. Thanks for the offer. I love as you say, trying to figure out what they all are, but know I'm not always right. I appreciate the help everyone is happy to give from this site.
