Looks like a female lyrebird to me.
Definitely. What a treat they are to have around too, even if their sounds sometimes make me sad for them because they're mimicking cars and chainsaws.
You can hear them calling clear across valleys, and the only reason you know they a lyrebird is because they cycle through mimicking different sounds like an album on random playback.
Wow, a lyrebird. What a treat!
She's very pretty
Unknown bird? My bird now. That's a... Grey Corpix..
Some kinda pheasant ?
Not sure, Sorry if i was unclear, i wasn't seeking an identification, but thought the photo would be of interest to people here. I dont want anyone to go out of their way to find out, it was just a bird I took a photo of as i walked past it and is different to the ones i see here day to day.
I think most people here like identifying them, nobody's going out of their way. If you do become interested in identifying this bird or others, I can recommend the Merlin app. I use it to ID the birds near me. It can use sounds, photos, or a game of 20 questions along with location and time to narrow your search.
@AnAustralianPhotographer @Aussiemandeus doesn’t matter as your cross posting does not allow sufficient resolution to zoom in and see anything in this dark lit photo. At least we know its Aus
