Queensland night singing bird (1 Viewer)

[danajune]

Each night at this time of year, a bird sings up to an hour long at about 4am.
It drives the neighborhood crazy. My friend took a video where it looked black and white from a distance. I saw it briefly closer and thought it is more grey and mottled. I have a recording and picture. Please help me identify.
Thanks from the Brisbane Australia area. Will try again to upload video as it wouldn't accept the file type. Photo sent.

The usual suspect in the towns is Willie Wagtail which often sings by streetlamps.

Here is an attachment I hope of my night song bird.
I originally thought pied Butchrbird, but maybe immature as grey and mottled.

Hi danajune and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

Oh dear... I did hear that song last year but memory playing tricks now. Wondering about your Mapie?

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Thanks for the suggestion Sicklebill, but it is bigger than a willie and finally up closer looks grey and mottled on the chest.

It is smaller than a Magpie, but thanks for the suggestion.
