Sorry this was the best I could do before it flew off. It was with some grey fantails and about the same size, but noticeably different.

Nice. Haven't seen one at our place for a while. (I think the last time we saw one was 2017)

They move through/down to Canberra from the mountains (higher wetter parts of Namadgi) in Autumn, this is probably one of the first down for the season. Always special to find one :)
