Brown bird

Hi gang. Back again. 

This one has me a little unsure. Taken in Northern Sydney in woodland heath habitat, my initial thoughts are Fuscous Honeyeater. 

Unfortunately the photos aren't great, and in the second photo he moved his head. 

Any help / confirmations appreciated as always. 

Cheers

Dave

Not the best lighting but probably female golden whistler

Thanks Ryu. 

Looks the right shape, and the patterns on the wing in the first photo match fairly closely. See if others agree.

Those Golden Whistlers are tricky!
