Have added a close-up of the head, the head feathers are already visible before the knob on the tree branch. Also this bird was noticeably smaller than the Noisy Friarbird in the same tree. A Noisy Friarbird also has a longer beak. Hope this all helps.

Any chance you could add a close up of the head, to help others to understand the difference from a noisy friarbird? Thanks.
