Hi Clappedout

I'd say you have a gorgeous Striated Pardalote there, I'm guessing possibly a male.  There are a few sub-species of Striated Pardalotes around Australia, but without location of your bird, I couldn't guess which one sorry.

I'll 2nd Striated Pardalote. Best guess for subspecies would be ornatus from SE Aust.

We're in Mornington Victoria
At least two are serenading us with a hi to low note
Thank you for the feedback.

Or possibly substriatus?  Although hasn't got the wide white wing stripe for a substriatus, so I would go with SteveM's subspecies over mine. smiley
