i think that's the same as the last bird you posted, which turned out to be an immature golden whistler,

Certainly a whistler, and most probably Golden, usually immatures show a white(ish)-throat.
No breast-streaking rules out imm. Rufous.
Not sure about your location Mitcon but are Gilberts, Red-lored and Olive a possibility?

Well I actually must admit I thought it was a Gilberts or Olive, but I'm pretty new to these things and none of my books show anything like this one. The area I took it has all of those but Red-lored would be a little out of it's normal areas I guess. The rest are all common to that area.
Hi Mitcon,
I've never been to SA (but have been to Mallee-Sunshine NP in Vic) and wonder if it could be Gilbert's?
I'm sure that others can give you a more qualified answer!

Common; sedentary.
I'd want a field guide in front of me before trying to decide that. I wouldn't have thought you'd get Olive outside the south-east corner (Millicent Coast Basin) but wouldn't be surprised to see Gilbert's just about anywhere else in the state where there is still decent vegetation.
Mallee-Sunset NP is just the best place in the whole of Victoria, Tom. At least that's my view. I absolutely love that park. Can't keep away from the place.
But you should spend some time in SA. It is a fantastic state: from the Coorong and the lush south-east corner (extraordinary geology, which naturally leads to extrordinary flora too) to the Murray Mallee and the arid north, to the Gawler Ranges and the Eyre Peninsula. You could spend months in SA without ever becoming bored. Me, I'd rate SA second only to Queensland as a place to visit. Not to be missed!
