I need assistance with two ID's please.

Both taken in SE Queensland early this morning Sunday 22-March.

 Neither of these are particularly good photographs.

 First one is maybe a Brush Cuckoo or a Fan-tailed Cuckoo?

Second one is I think a Female Golden-Headed Cisticola?

1. Fan-tailed Cuckoo

2. looks more like a Tawny Grassbird imo.

Agreed. Fan-tailed's are have yellow eye ring, more colourful and are larger.

Seems the Golden-headed Cisticola is still eluding you?
