superb fairy-wren or something else?

Hi
Wow ages since I've been on here.
Anyhoo, I have these pics of a bird which at first I thought was a Superb Fairy Wren but it looked a little too big, and also seemed to have a horizontal dark stripe through the eye? Unfortunately I couldn't see the tail at all!!
I know these aren't the best pics in the world, but any ideas?
Location is Southern Tasmania.

Thank-you!

Hmmm I am not sure why the photo does not seem to be loading in the message.....

If you right click on the broken link and select 'open image in new tab' it takes you to the Flickr page with the pic ..... although it's very small and it's better if you select 'All sizes' and then the bigger image loads.....

I'll try and fix it!

Definetly a Fariry-wren of sorts.

This picture on Gelmir's post looks like a Fairy Martin, not too common in southern Tas. Tends to hang out in flocks from a few to a few hundred, nests under bridges, in caves. Quick swooping flight picking insects out of the air.
