Hi Liam - can you have another look at this one please? I reckon that the red wattle & the white marking under the eye make it a Red Wattlebird, not a Little. There's even a hint of the yellow belly. Thank you

I presume it was just an accidental mis-ID on Liam's part, probably prompted by the incorrect AI suggestion

Yes sorry, mistake on my part (I misread the scientific name). Thanks both for picking it up.
