I think Kerry got this one... I think it is a WARBLER.. Great shot! :)
LeanneGardner
Thank you Kerry & Leuba for both suggestions. I've just looked at both & cant decide! They both are so similar. Thanks for your help, I'll see if someone can help me decide :)

This is the only photo where the broken white ring around the eye is obvious. Hope someone will confirm the ID, if it is a Jacky Winter. http://www.birdphotographers.net/test2/showthread.php/62390-Jacky-Winter-(Microeca-fascinans)-Bowra-Station-Cunnamulla-Queensland

Very nice ! Leanne, checkout "Jacky Winter" -Microeca fascinans, which looks like it matches your spotting. Said to be a small fly-catcher. Quite a wide distribution.
