Have had two opinions on this bird from ABID. One saying it is a Weebill and the other as a juvenile White-throated Gerygone.

Looks more like juvenile weebill. Not long out of nest and more likely breeding at that location than gerygone.

That is interesting. Would love to find that they are breeding in our park.

Not really sure, I don't think it is a Weebill. In the last image looks more like a Pardalote almost

Yes, I agree. I think most likely immature White-throated Gerygone, a small chance it could be a pardalote but the rich yellow plumage strikes me as Gerygone.

Lacks yellow supra- lore spot ( white in adult) and bill shape of gerygone. The yellow wash is consistent with a very young juv weebill and it is backlit by evening sunlight (7pm). If not confident then I guess it’s ID best considered inconclusive. Pity parent didn’t show up.
