From these very blurry video stills I think I see a Brown Thornbill in Port Fairy, Victoria. Can anyone verify this? Thank you in advance for any help.

It does look good for Brown Thornbill. The other possibility would be Striated, but the face does not look right for that. Saw both species at Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve last year.

Yes, Brown Thornbill. Lack of streaking on the ear-coverts, buff vent and brown wash on the frons all separate it from Striated.
