Rufous Fantail does flit tease

Couple of Rufous Fantail (Rhipidura rufifrons) teasingly flitting about near Jourama Falls camp area the other day. Not an easy species to pin down.   
Grey Fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa) as usual in greater numbers and more willing to pose.
As was this moth, Erebus crepuscularis, showing keen interest in the base of several trees near the falls parking area. Wingspan about 6cm. (Thanks, DF, for correct ID)
