Any Native Bird Watchers here--Identification Please

I found a baby bird exactly the same as this on the barb wire fence in the middle of nowhere this morning. My first thought was a noisy miner but I don't think it is with no yellow on it. The flight feathers look to have a little green coming through on them. I'm thinking it's a honeyeater of some kind.

 

Anyone know?

It looks to be a juvenile olive backed oriole (figbird)

We still haven't found out what it is, lady next door is looking after it, I think she is going to ring wildlife carers.
