Golden Whistler - I think there may be a pale base to the bill indicating immature, otherwise it's female.

Agreed - Golden Whistler. 

Always difficult to tell imm vs female

Yeah looks good for Golden Whistler.

Right size and shape and little wing patterns show that slight brown near the shoulder area. 

The only thing that's throwing me off is the head, but that's probably because it's not clear. 

Actually comparing it to some of my photos it looks pretty spot on.

Sorry. If I forget, it should be safe for you to assume they are all in Canberra unless otherwise stated.
