User's notes

I keep circling around options for this one. My head says it is a Superb Fairy-wren by shape, but the head just doesn’t seem to meet any colouration that seems right. Also appears a little bigger than the little fluff balls. I might be putting too much thought into it. Not the best focus and heavy crop also.
