Is this a Grey Shrike-Thrush ?

I took pictures of this bird (or these birds ?). Is this a Grey Shrike-Thrush ? Or are there two different birds ?

Hi Trac, looks to small for a Shrike-Thrush, also i think they have a heavier, thicker bill.

The 2nd photo shows a Robin type trait with open wings. Where was it taken and what size do you estimate it to be.

Hi Muz,

These pictures taken in Western suburb of Brisbane QLD. Size of these birds are about 10cm.

Will have to reference a guide tonight. Hopefully someone locally can identify them for you.

Could be a female/immature Golden whistler (but they are not a lot smaller than a shrike-thrush)
