For me it's very hard to tell, the colours look manipulate. I would love to see the Robin in the original state. Looks like a Yellow Robin (with a lot of blue added) to me.

Thanks for replying it was fairly dark in there but here is the original . It was just alot smaller than the other pale yellow robins i have taken pic of .
short answer - yes, it is a Pale Yellow Robin; long answer - thanks for posting and thereby getting me to look up Pale Yellow Robin; I thoguht that I had only 1 photo opportunity but I have had 4; I will attach 3 pics, not very good but in deep rainforest; 1 thought that they are much smaller than the Eastern Yellow Robin but the guides say PYR 13cm and EYR 15-16cm.

Thanks mate i had a great week up in that part of the country i got 34 new birds .... Cheers
Lovely find, I've never seen one of them. I guess with small birds, a few centimetres of size make a larger difference (from 'Wow, that's a small bird' to 'Wow, thats a really small bird'.
Good job just getting a clear photo in Mary Carincross Reserve, there always seems to be very little light in there, and all the birds are very small. So basically, it's a photographer's nightmare of a reserve. Although, it is an utterly stunning reserve; lots of that country up on the Connondale and Blackall Ranges is utterly spectacular. And, the tourist shops in Montville are lots of fun. Are you staying up there much longer, Rbtbest? If you are, there is a blog
http://sunshinecoastbirds.blogspot.com.au/
which is written by a guy who lives on the Sunshine Coast. If you trawl through the archives, you can find some really nice suggestions about good places in the region to go birding. The Sunshine Coast is (in my opinion) one of the most truly wonderful parts of Australia, and it is a pity that it is gradually being turned into the Gold Coast. Sad, but perhaps inevitable, as people have to live somewhere.
Gooday Lachlan ,no im home now back at work ,i work on a 4000 acre property just outside walcha ,which is in the hills between Tamworth and the coast . It is a beautiful part of the world up there i hope to go back for a week in October all goin well ....Cheers
Ok, it's always a shame to have nice holidays end!
Mind you, Walcha isn't that bad either...
Do you no Walcha Lachlan ? where are u from ...
I'm from Western Sydney (Macarthur region, to be specific; Western Sydney is a big place), but I have passed through Walcha a couple of times (and stopped), as it it on one of the convenient routes from here to South East Qld (Thunderbolt's Way). I think (going to Toowoomba) its about as fast as New England Hwy + Putty Rd.
2 hours shorter bud if your ever goin through again and want to break the trip there is always a cold beer ,feed and a bed if u want one .... rbtbest@hotmail.com ..... cheers.... ill pick your brain though
