Verify ID of Birds in Sydney, Australia (1 Viewer)

We just returned from a cruise in the South Pacific that ended in Sydney, Australia. In Sydney we had a local birding guide for two day-trips. He was excellent; taking us to most of the good places for birds around Sydney. However, I did get a couple of pictures of birds he didn’t see and identify for me. I didn’t discover these until after we got home.

The first two pictures are of the same bird. I am pretty sure it’s and Olive-backed Oriole. The pix were taken in Cattai National Park; NW of Sydney

The third photo is either an Eastern Yellow Robin or a Pale-yellow Robin. The yellow seems too bright to be a Pale-yellow and it seems to lack the white lores. However, the pinkish feet and white chin would be uncharacteristic of the Eastern Yellow. I have tentatively chosen Pale-yellow for this one.

I am pretty sure the last photo is a Crested Shriketit that is looking right at the camera while hanging upside down from a branch.

The last two photos were taken in Mitchell Park also NW of Sydney.

I will appreciate any help verifying or correcting my IDs.

Agree on Olive-backed Oriole and Crested Shrike-tit. I think it's an Eastern Yellow Robin. Sometimes they can show paler legs:

Some split the shrike-tits (all 3 markedly different with very separate ranges) making yours an Eastern.

I'm with Andrew on all of them, although Adam is right about the shrike-tits - they are always discussed as a potential split though I don't know if any major taxonomies actually do split them yet (IOC doesn't)

E Yellow for sure. agree with other idents too

IOC have yet to decide on the proposed split (PS3.4) of Falcunculus frontatus to separate Northern Shriketit F. whitei (NW & N), Western Shriketit F. leucogaster (SW) and Eastern Shriketit F. frontatus (SE).

PS I await 3 armchair ticks in exchange for one removal from my Oz list...o

Just out of curiosity, where around Sydney did you see the shrike-tit?

It was at Mitchell Park, Northwest of Sydney. Fortunately, Andrew Patrick from Zest for Birds, knew how to get there. I would have never found it.

And, thanks to all of you for your help on these photos.
