Little Wattlebird?

I have many wattlebirds around my place, I think they are all Red Wattlebirds. I took this in Inverloch yesterday, and I think its a Little Wattlebird. It he/she? had orange/brown patches under the wings, only visible in flight.

There seem to be some naming variations among the wattlebird species/group and I'm not sure. Is this also a brush or bush wattlebird?

This is what I call a little wattlebird, Roger. I think it depends on where you live as to what other name it might have. I'm not yet up to speed on those.

The Little Wattlebird is also known as the Brush Wattlebird and it certainly looks like you've got one there!
