Is this a Golden Whistler

I spotted this guy in Samsonvale QLD, is he a Golden Whistler?

I thought he was a Rufous Whislter at first but he is more yellow than orange plus he doesn't have the line around the head like the Rufous Whistlers have.

Cheers

Thanks heaps guys.

This is a first for me.

I love their call.

I used to call them the "have a say" bird because it sounded like he was just going on and on.

I have heard the call for years but never knew it was Gerygone.

Cheers

I love their call, the "falling leaf" call, very distinctive. Now my hearing is getting worse I am losing those high frequencies and only hear them if they are close.
