Sighted (photographed with phone camera) on Berrara Rd in Conjola National Park west of the Cudmirrah-Berrara villages. Took refuge on base of Turpentine trees. Interestingly, it frightened off two Sacred Kingfisher who were perched in this tree.

It probably was a Lacey, judging by the size of the animal and what I can see, but it's hard to confirm it based on the photo supplied.
