Western Australia, Peel Inlet, Coodanup; Weebill/Thornbill (1 Viewer)

[citrinella]

This was in dense scrub beside Peel inlet in Coodanup Reserve (Nairns) on 7/Oct/2014. We think it is a Weebill but
is it too speckly about the head
are the legs too dark

or does the bird just look odd in this light ?

Thanks, Mike.

It is not a weebill but a thornbill. I am not familiar with West Aus's species so I'll leave someone else for that, but if it is anything like the east then it is Inland or Brown.

looks like Inland Thornbill, seems streaked on chest and throat with a dark eye
