What bird is it?

For two weeks I've been seeing this bird come to my birdbath for a drink. Every time I reach for my camera, the bird is gone but today I finally got a photo, not the best photo but maybe enough for someone to tell me what bird this is? I'm in South Australia and I've never seen these birds before other than the one that's been coming for a drink at my birdbath. It's a little larger than a House Sparrow and the tail is longer, probably the size of a canary.
Anyone got any clues as to what this bird is?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Greg for your reply. I'd been trying for weeks to get a photo because I couldn't figure out what bird it was. I thought at first my eyesight was going and one of the Sparrows was turning greenish lol.

Thanks heaps, I've only ever seen this one, hope I get to see more.
