Hi PaulF, not sure why some of the bird species names have dropped off the bird lists, I've let admin know and the issue will be resolved soon hopoefully :)

Is this a White Throated treecreeper or a Brown Treecreeper?

Kylie,
It’s not a good photo as the light and distance were against me and it flew off. I opted for the more common white throated treecreeper. I will try again on a sunnier day.

I'm pretty sure its a White Throated rather than a Brown. The second photo shows quite a bit of white on the underside. However, I'm happy to be corrected if someone can identify it better

Hi Chris. I'm only going by the side shot - which shows the face - a white throated treecreeper does not have a light face nor a light eye brow. Its face is dark. But this is my opinion based on knowledge of Brown Treecreepers.

Hi Kylie and Chris,
I have posted another treecreeper sighting from today at the same location. The photo is a lot clearer.
