I think the first two are the female of this species. The female sat in the one spot for quite a while allowing me to creep closer. The male just flittered from branch to branch never staying for more than a few seconds. I didn't get much details in the blacks and in the one on the fence he almost looks silhouetted. I didn't add any flash and I gues this could have helped a little.

Hi Greg
Nice shots. The first 2 are actually male Golden-headed Cisticola. Note short tail.
Cheers,
Mat
PS - I'm guessing it was you at Oxley Creek Common this morning
