Podargus strigoides
A work mate spotted this fella pretending to be a knarled branch amongst the mistletoe. Apparently females are more shy than males and make a greater effort to behave like tree branches.

Nice spotting, Vinny (thanks to your mate). This posture is officially called "stumping". Unofficially, this is what I call "doing the stick thing!" Awesome birds.
