User's notes
This bird was in very close proximity to a Superb Fairy-wren group. There may have been one more with this bird but I could not clearly see it. Initially, I thought it may have been the Striated Thornbill but in consulting my reference books I am certain of my identification based on the the very obvious red eye as well as the plumage. The bird appeared to be feeding on the plants or small creatures on the plant.
