Looks like a juvenile little black cormorant to me. But not entirely sure although, the cormorant it could be mistaken with
would be a juvenile great cormorant. However those have a yellow chin which I can't make out here. :-?

I would have thought so as well, but it's lacking the white eye-brow. :-? Yet there is not other bird

cheeked honeyeater.

Funnily enough they look just like a common moorhen, but the Ozzies refer to them as dusky moorhen. lol
