Would this be a young black-faced woodswallow?
That would be a good option Woko,but do the juveniles have spots? I agree that it is a Woodswallow,but I don't know which one.
Young black-faced woodswallows are heavily streaked on the back, according to Morcombe. I wondered if the spots were the remnants of the streaking. (I recall getting spots all over one day when I streaked).
Masked Woodswallow are spotted?
Good point Alan,have a look at this topic from 2 years ago:

They were in the company of Black-faced Woodswallows.
But acted differently. The sat on low fences while BFW were up high.
Also dont think Dusty Woodswallows are in the NT
