Sorry about pic quality but snatched photo of v small bird in eucalyptus forest. Bluetoothed to phone and hopefully uploaded on poor internet connection. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation. And sorry no other pics.

Thanks Larry. Size right. Thought bill wrong colour or due to strong light. But a trawl of internet photos says you’re correct. Thanks again
