Another quiet/noisy one (Manorina melanocephala)

Perhaps 'noisy' refers to the bird's colouration, D., as in wearing 'loud/noisy' colours. Is there another species of miner bird in Australia, of a more subdued hue? If so, maybe the 'noisy' part of the bird's name is to differentiate the two. What do I know, though?

Miner bird or not, D,
your photo is a major success.
Splendid.

When things quiet down here at work I'm gonna have to do a search on their call.

Meanwhile, this is a great closeup girl.
