New bird

I'd appreciate some help in identifying this little cutie found in a forested area of our back paddock here on the sunshine coast hinterland. Sat on a branch for a few seconds then flew off. I was lucky to get these photos.

It looks a bit like some kind of whistler?  Probably a youngun...

It was in a tree with a Spectacled Monarch foraging for insects. (This was my first sighting of such a Monarch). The area is quite forested. It looks young but just don't know what.

I couldn't believe the number of birds out today on my 20 minute sighting. So happy.

Could be as we do have Eastern Yellow Robins here. Looked up bird book and juveniles are brown streaked. Would never have guessed.

Yes, probably a juvenile robin. They are really tough to ID :P

Looks to me like a young Eastern Yellow Robin coming into his adult plumage.
