Seen foraging on the ground for insects in subcoastal heath in Bournda National Park, on the very south coast of NSW.

I have more photos if they would help.
Anyone know what this is?
I can't work it out.

The ones here are very bold, they have no hesitation to hop into my house and have a good look around.
They are also really good at finding and dobbing in snakes when they are around.

Here is one of my local ones.
