Mount Field national park Tasmania

I took these bird pictures at Mt Field National Park Tasmania two weeks ago. Do you happen to know some of them ?

0. Is this a Tasmanian Thornbill ?

1. and 2. UNKB: Is this a White-Winged Triller ?

3. UNKC: ?

4. and 5. UNKD: ?

6. and 7. UNKE = Tasmanian Thornbill ?

8. UNKF ?

9. UNKG ?

My thoughts, but happy to be wrong. The White Winged Triller would be outside its natural range at Mt Field, but not by far.

0. Tasmanian Thornbill, (Tas Endemic) greyish underparts, as opposed to much lighter or white of Brown Thornbills in Tassie.

1. Striated Pardolote, short tail, yellow throat, stubby bill.

2. Possibly another Striated Pardolote, although head looks too dark.

3. Yellow Throated Honeyeater - Tas Endemic

4 & 5 Possibly Crescent Honeyeater, not seen one in person, looks dark, but looks like light was against you as well.

6 & 7 Thornbill, probably Tasmanian, hard to tell

8. Unsure

9. Unsure

Hello

You have confused me by starting with number 0

0 - +1 Tas Thornbill

1 - +1 Striated Pardalote

2 +1 Striated Pardalote - you can see the yellow throat & stubby tail

3 - +1 Yellow-throated Honeyeater

4 & 5 - Crescent Honeyeater- females or immatute males as the crescent band is not evident

6 & 7 - cannot offer a suggestion

8 - young Dusky Robin, would like to look at my pics

9 - I am thinking another Crescent Honeyeater but it is not very clear

I agree with Pacman on all birds, with an added suggestion of Brown Thornbill for birds 6 & 7.

The only suggestion that I would make is that the pardalote is a Spotted Pardalote, the face is different than the striated. I'm not familier with the other birds though :) Oh, Maybe a brown honeyeater for the last one, but it is hard with it's back to us :P

As Elsie said, the Pardalotes are adult male Spotted Pardalotes. Striated Pardalotes don't have the Grey-Blue on the side of the face and have a Yellow brow which is not present in pardalote 1

Thanks Peter, Ryu, Snail, Elsie, Dale for your input.

6 and 7 looks like Spotted Pardalote, I have another picture that show its head with white dots.

The Thornbill is very much like Tasmanian Thornbill with white feathers near tail. (Brown thornbill has light yellow feather).
