Taken at Bowra, QLD

I'm sure once again this is an obvious one, but help would be appreciated!

It's not that obvious... immediate thought was Little Friarbird... not sure though... LJ

That was my first thought as well.

Not 100% sure though.

Thank you both.  Books don't seem to show the dark line below the beak, and yet when I google photos there does seem to be a line.  And there seems to be a blue hue around the eyes in my photo so perhaps that is what it is - a Little Friarbird.

Yeah, the chinstrap threw me. No Aussie bird in south-west Queensland has that. I think the light and angle is tricking us. Has to be a Little Friarbird. LJ

Little Friarbird for sure

Thanks for all your comments.  It is now a Little Friarbird!
