If the location is Bathurst it could be either.I picked Horsfields due to the greenish tinge on the back (as ive seen here ), however my field guide shows the Shining as having the same colour as the one in the post and the same as ive seen here , but we have Horsfields here. :crazy:

I still think Horsfields. They would be more common.

We only get Shining here and I honestly can't pick the difference between them & Horsfields at a glance in the bush. Shining may be a touch brighter green but in young partly coloured birds there is no discernable difference at all that I can see.

Let it go this morning and the local willie wagtail and white plumed honeyeaters immediately gave chase.
Pariah of the bird world!
