See these regularly, this one I believe to make because of the 5 bands. Seen feeding and foraging on Grevillea sericea, Melaleuca thymifolia, Bauera rubioides, Dianella caerulea, Correa sp. Spotted roosting in Hardenbergia.

Yes, a male - A. asserta is the most common, but could also be A. chlorocyanea. Can't tell from this picture.
