Acanthiza chrysorrhoa
It has a striking yellow rump. It is mainly grey-olive to grey-brown above to cream below, with a white-spotted black crown and a dark eye stripe. The tail is black, with white tips.
This bird has the dark eye stripe of the Yellow-rumped Thornbill, but in this photo looks like it has a very yellow underbelly like that of the Yellow Thornbill. I'm leaning towards the Yellow-rumped though. Any thoughts?

Good observation Daniele - thanks!
H Rachel! I think I can seen another distinguishing feature of the Yellow-rumped one, which is the spotted forehead.
