Small bird ID

Hi everyone, I need help with the ID of a bird I saw this afternoon at Warriewood Wetlands. I’m at a loss as to what this bird might be. The bird was just slightly bigger than the Spinebill that was going off at it. It has a slightly darker head, which you can make out in one of the photo’s with some dark stripes in the breast. Not sure on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
