Think it's a Quail Thrush but not sure which. Taken today Eyre Peninsula SA.
Photos not that clear as only saw it for a few seconds through mallee scrub.

Chestnut QT. Beaut birds. LJ
Good one, Rick.
There are some great birds in the drier country. Most Australians think the mallee is boring. Little do they know!
Thanks Lorne, Woko.
Wasn't sure because of the spots on the breast which are not in my Pizzeys.
Woko, I just love the Mallee.The variety of birds is amazing as is also the dynamic of the system. Spending some time you start to see the relationships between the different species.
I'm an absolute sucker for the mallee too. I love it. All the spinifec and red dirt! Nombinnie Nature Reserve in NSW (with its renowned old wheat paddock!) is a top mallee spot. On two recent trips out there I've seen Grey Falcon (wow), Gilbert's Whistler, Chestnut Quail-thrush, Emu, Southern Scrub-robin, Splendid Fairy-wren, Red-capped Robin, Masked Woodswallow, Yellow-plumed Honeyeater, Spotted Nightjar and Shy Heathwren. Gold. Gold. Gold. LJ
Ah, spinifex, not spinifec! Hee hee. LJ
