I think it is Striated Grassbird (Megalurus palustris)..considering the back portion, beak and posture...was there any damp, wetland or river near the meadow where the bird was foraging?

thanks for sharing..

Looks like it is holding something in its beak. The markings on its body is sync with its name. Thanks for sharing.
