Exiting stage right from the bath, almost a good photo

I find this hard to even identify from the photo. If there were no suggestion of Superb Fairy-wren, then I doubt I would even guess that, although perhaps I can see the long tail trailing. I'm sure you are right with your suggestion as you were there and saw the bird, but it would be good if you had another photo to put it beyond any doubt just from the visual record.

Yes a family of wrens. I was enjoying their antics too much and got just this one photo and they left.
