Not enough detail to confirm. Most likely suggestion is Buff-rumped Thornbill.| Insufficient or inconclusive evidence | natureguy | 25 Aug 2020 | |

This photo was in a bunch of thornbill photos. Just wasn't 100% that it was a yellow thornbill but more than willing to accept that it could be. Thought I'd put it up in case it's something else.

I downloaded and lightened this photo but I still can't see anything to help me ID this. Sorry.

There are 3 possible contenders for this sighting. Buff-rumped Thornbill, Weebil and Yellow Thornbill. Overall I'm more inclined to suggest Buff-rumped from the posture and the habitat. If it was foraging on or near the ground its most likely Buff-rumped. To confirm I would really like to see a picture of the face to see the eye colour (red in Yellow TB, white in others). Otherwise I think this sighting is inconclusive (will flag when that feature is working again). Good shots of the head and body are generally needed to ID similar species like these as otherwise there's not a lot to go by.

Yeah could easily be a buff rumped thornbill would happily agree with that conclusion. We definitely see plenty of those in that area. It was just such a weird angle I've not seen before that I really wasn't certain what it could be.
