Sorry, based on this single photo I just can't be sure if it's H. gouldii or H. heteroclytus. Different features have me leaning either way. They're difficult enough to tell apart as it is, but some of these individuals make me wonder whether there is any hybridization going on, particularly as both species are equally common in much of this lower half of Tidbinbilla River.
