I have worked out all the birds i got today except this one (Mount Glorious, QLD)

The eye is affected by the flash but in a pic i took without flash it looks to be dark red maybe.

It's a juvenile Yellow Robin, I guess Eastern Yellow Robin?, but don't know if Pale Yellow Robin is a possibility?

I was thinking along the same lines Steve. I was thinking juvenile Pale Yellow Robin but when I looked at pics of them their heads didn't have as much brown, other than that they were pretty similar. I don't think its a juvenile Eastern Yellow Robin though because when I see pictures of them they are completely brown with no free on their back and grey at their beak.

Tim, the brown juvenile E.Yellow Robins start moulting into adult plumage vey soon after fledging, that's why you rarely see the brown juveniles, they are not around for long. I'll try attach my photo of a young Eastern Yellow Robin. But, I still don't know which Yellow Robin that Rawshorty has posted.

Edit:PS, this one is somewhere in-between juvenile & adult.
