Hey Liam we didn't, there were a bunch of fantails flying around so thought it might be one of there's. It looks a bit like a Rufus Whistler chick too but we didn't see any of those nearby. We waited a bit to see if the parents would show but we didn't want to hang around too much in case we disturbed them.

I don’t think it’s Fantail chick, but I’m not expert, @MatthewFrawley @natureguy

I agree that Rufous Whistler is a likely possibility but not confident. I highly doubt it is a fantail.

For what it's worth, from other photos I've seen online, this looks more like a Rufous Whistler fledgling to me than a Grey Fantail.
