I saw this small bird scratching around in the dirt on the rainforest floor in Dorrigo National Park, NSW today. Can anyone help me identify it?

Aust Logrunner.
Thank you zosterops!
Awesome birds - I love their strident pipings, sideways scratching for invertebrates and tail spines that keep them balanced when feeding! I've only seen 2 or 3 in many years of birding. Must try harder! LJ
Hi LJ. I only noticed the Logrunner because I had stopped and squatted down to try and get a better sight on a different bird, then I heard the scratching right next to me and that's the only reason I saw him!
I've got another bird that I can't identify which I saw recently at Moonee Beach, NSW, 2450 on the headland - any ideas?
Well done, Chad. Put that logrunner record on eremaea's Birdline NSW asap.
You're other bird looks like an immature male Red-winged Fairy-wren.

I'm sure Lorna meant to say Red-backed Fairy-wren, not Red-winged.
Thanks Lorne and Steve. I agree Red-backed Fairy-wren.
