The shape, stance and markings look suitable but I would like the opinion of the other bird moderators.

I've added another photo that is hopefully a little clearer

Yep, great. I hear them from time to time (and have seen one once) at our place which is on the opposite side of Kowen Forest (north of the ACT border off Norton Rd). There are plenty of possums around our place for food.

Was this a day roost, or bird moving around at dusk?
