Which fairy-wren?

Hi

I took this photo yesterday at Sydney Harbour National Park, Bradleys Head.  I am not sure which type of fairy-wren it is.  I think given the black beak and barely visible blue feathers around the eye it is a male losing his breeding plumage but I am not sure.

Thanks!

I'm going Variegated but not 100% sure.

I agree its a youg Variegated. Looks just like the Malurus lamberti's I've been photgraphing at Coffs the past 20 years!
