Brown Thornbill_whatchulookinatwillis?! (Acanthiza pusilla)

A beautiful little Brown Thornbill, singing away, and checking me out. Late in the day, with what little light there was in all the wrong places! Lucky enough to get a few reasonable shots, since these hyper little fellas don't sit still for long .....

Thanks guys and girls :t:
They are fantastic, happy, little twitterers :))
I was pleasantly surprised that such a high ISO, and wide open aperture shot turned out okay, and I didn't even have the VC switched on! Getting close with this lens definitely helps, as does stopping down to f8 ...... sometimes you just get lucky! :D

Is it just me, or is this the most atypical Brown Thornbill you've ever seen? It certainly seems the odd one out in the Brown Thornbill gallery, but that's my best id. Let me know if you're fairly certain it is something else.
