Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis)

Really beautiful photo. What kind of tree was this finch sitting in? Like a bunya pine or something?
 
Thanks @PAT. I believe it’s a hoop pine. Maiala Picnic Area (where this photo was taken) used to be a pine plantation/sawmill in the 1800s. It’s a really nice spot - lots of bowerbirds, robins, fantails, scrubwrens and finches right near the carpark area. The nearby rainforest trail is apparently a stronghold for pitta.
