Author's notes

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.

Sorry this looks like a noisy friarbird?? You can just see the little knob on the beak

The little knob is on the branch behind and is the same colour as the branch

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