Bird recorded in maplteton national park amongst tall gums, any ideas? Seemed to be a fairly small bird ( smaller than magpie), with a white under belly, maybe brown wings, it was high up in the trees.
The recordings are below,

Any takers?
Hi all, this from the wonderful Sean Dooley (editor of Australian Birdlife magazine):
The second bird is Scarlet Honeyeater.
The first recording has what I think might be the squeaking of Scarlet Honeyeater- the same tone as the song in the second one, just a single peeping version. But there is also a chirring of what I think might be a Brown Thornbill in the central section of the first recording too. (It might be a scolding Scarlet Honyeater call but it sounds a lot like Brown Thornbill to me!)
The bird I’m interested in is the ‘wacka woo wup’ not the others
My only guess would be a noisy friarbird or some sort of wattlebird/
Yes noisy friar bird, thanks☺️
