Nearby (although not exactly in the same place) as last week's observation, sighting 4705007. Could it be the same individual who has since moulted and is now brown or is it more likely that these are two different individuals?

Unlikely to have changed colour in one moult.
However I followed up a sighting at Tuggeranong Nr a week after it was reported and photographed one in the same spot over a week later likely same individual
Very sedentary unless disturbed
