Buff-rumped Thornbill I'd say.

Yes, considered this. My problem is this.....I put up another set of LBB, same area but looks like different bird. It was identified by someone as Chestnut-rumped Thronbill. However in reference book I have, and know they arent pefect, the Chestnut-rumped has white just above bill and the Buff-rumped has brown...which is exactly opposite to how have been identified on here..........I am no expert at all, just trying to learn...any thoughts?

Buff-rumped has the yellowish underparts and flanks which is one of the main distinguishing features here. Chestnut-rumped has dull brown underparts and a chestnut-rump.

There is no way this can be a chestnut-rump.
