Am away at the moment and don't have my book, can someone help with this? Taken at Lake Gilles Conservation Park yesterday in Mallee.

Looks like a Varied Sittella, but I'm most likely proven wrong?
M-L
Varied Sitella indeed. Great shots, when I saw some a year or so ago they were too shy. Not wrong, Araminta!

Thanks for that M-L & Curtis. Cheers
Such striking plumage! VSs have plumage that's very variable. They like to forage along branches in a different manner to treecreepers; they almost seem to be horizontal on branches at times, rather than vertical. A month back, I had a party of 8 foraging all over an electricity pole near home - something I'd not seen in 25 yrs of birding! Lorne
