Female Hardhead is my best guess for the pic.

Thanks Liam. Good to know - first recorded CNM sighting for Budjan Galindji. Presume it's a male rather than a female? I had also considered IDing it as a Chestnut Teal but the late evening light and shadow didn't allow me to get a fix on feather colours.
