Yellow Thornbill? (Acanthiza nana)

This little bird (10cm) too fast, too small... and always on tree top. Quite a challenge to photograph.
Habitat
Open forest
Location
NSW, Australia.
Date taken
september 2008
Scientific name
Acanthiza nana
Equipment used
Canon 350D, 100-400L
I'd go along with that, fits the description pretty spot on I'd say. "The Yellow Thornbill is a small to medium-sized thornbill and is the most yellow of the thornbill group. It is greenish-olive on the back, with white streaking on the cheeks and ears, and has pale to bright yellow underparts. There is a reddish brown tone on the chin and throat". Nice close shot.
 
Thank you... The yellow thornbill was about 2.5-3m away. Could not get any closer.
