This bird (I'm not even going to guess), was being harried by a couple of magpies, but stayed around the area, gliding, for ten minutes or so.

White face, barred outer wings and square tail. They like baby birds so Australian Magpies feel threatened.

Thank you! The behaviour of the magpies makes sense - thanks for explaining.
