Warriewood Wetlands #1 mystery bird

I am having trouble identifying two birds that I watched at WW today.  This is the first "mystery bird".

Hi there, I'm not too sure where those wetlands are? If I knew, I might say, Pale-yellow Robin, or a type of Golden Whistler. ?

Give us a bit more information, please.

Warriewood wetlands are in the northern beaches area of Sydney.

I suggest a female Golden Whistler

It's a young male due to the olive back, dark head and white throat patch developing.

Cheers, Owen.

They sure are easy to miss when they are only starting to develop.

Cheers, Owen.

Thank you for your response, and your expertise in being able to identify a little beauty.  This information will make it easier for me to put a name to others I'm sure I will see while out birding.  The other mystery bird (#2) is different, but possibly a female whistler.
