Hi Jubeyjubes, sorry for the delay on this one - there are three relatively common Melophorus which look pretty similar (M. rufoniger, M. perthensis and M. aeneovirens) so I took a while to check through them all. Based on this sighting and the photos you took last year I'm still pretty happy with M. rufoniger. Cheers, Jon
