Please help I cant work out what this bird is. It was taken in open eucalypt forest on thick low bushes, on the East of NSW (Nowra area).

Thanks

Dusky Honeyeater?

Do you have any more images? Want to see bill and body better.

Sorry, I couldnt get any other shots they were very fast, in the same bushes there were other small birds that had yellow bellies there were also some red capped robins and a scarlet honey eater and on the ground were lots of variegated fairy wrens. Thought it might have been a Weebill or a Thornbill

Sorry, I'd need more clues to get that one.

I would think though that for me the tail looks to be too long for it to be a thornbill / weebill.

I would think something along the honeyeater lines might be more likely, but I'm kind of making that up...

Cheers,

Scott.
