A bit young to tell, but might be Blechnum wattsii

Yes, you are right, a bit hard to tell. I should have taken more photos and looked for more leaves.

A key feature of B wattsii are the leathery pinnae and large backward pointing initial pinnae (the lowest ones of the frond), but harder to tell on young fronds. It tends to favour the same local environment as Histiopteris incisa.
