Tawny Frogmouth or Marbled

Hi,

Can anyone advise as to whether this bird is a Tawny Frogmouth or a Marbled Frogmouth.

Found: Wooloweyah, postcode 2464. Dec 8th 2011, roughly 3pm.

Was asleep on a branch being harassed by minors (poor thing)....

Thanks

Looks like a Tawny Frogmouth. I cannot see any barring on the nasal feathers, which is a distinguishing feature of the Marbled Frogmouth. Nice pic BTW. :-)
