Maybe a shrikethrush?

I'd go with HelloBirdy and say a Rufous Shrikethrush
Hope this helps!
Thanks Ryu and Elsie. This looks like a female little shrike-thrush (Rufous shrike-thrush). It looks so much different from a male one, I almost pick it as another species. New thing to be learned everyday.
yes, Little Shrikethrush, not sure what oyu mena about difference between male & female
here is a closer pic from Woodgate Qld in Nov '11

These are pictures of male Little Shrike-thrust I believe. At first I thought these are two different species but now they belong to a male (light brown) and a female Shrike-Thrust ( brownier colour).
Tracviet - I believe that these pics are of a thornbill, do you have a field guide?, if yes please look at the thornbills and tell me what you think
Peter
My initial thoughts too, Peter. I just lacked the confidence to voice it :(
Brown or Inland Thornbill, depending on location. They should have been quite a bit smaller than your shrike-thrush

Yes you are right Peter, thanks for the correction.
Looks like Brown Thornbill.
It matches with brown thornbill in my Bird Guide.
tracviet - on another thread you have said that you have the Pizzey & Knight field guide; have a look at the inside covers where there is a sketch of a representative bird of each family; initially you want to say that is a thornbill then go to the guide to see which thornbill

Thanks Peter. Now I can see a quicker way to search for a bird and how the book was organised.
