This one is from Kingston (just South of Brisbane) near Scrubby Creek again - looks like a Robin but wondered if it might be an immature Golden Whistler? He has a fair bit of brown on his wings and beak has some yellow at the base. Taken mid-afternoon today.
You guys seem to be good at this identification stuff - thanks for IDing my Fantail Cuckoo, thought he was some sort of a cuckoo but not confident enough to be sure.
In the photos I've seen online of some immature Golden Whistlers, that beak colour of orange to black (from the base of the beak to the tip) seems to be distinctive as well as the rufous secondaries.
Yes I think it is.
