Turning red?

I think this is an immature male Red-backed Fairy-wren. I blipped the mature male last November. In my present photo, the young bird has two patches of red developing. This webpage by the Australian Bird Study Association shows the bird in its various forms. I photographed this one in the dunes, just behind the beach, in Banksia bushes - a common habitat for the species.
