It's a Tawny Frogmouth chick born in 2013. This is what he looks like now.  

You can see where he gets the name.

It's something, not so sure about bird though

What screams, cries, laughs, and looks like a muppet? That’s right, it’s the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides). Its vocalizations range from deep grunts to loud hisses and have been likened to a crying baby! Found in Australia, this nocturnal bird is a sit-and-wait predator—meaning that it waits for dinner to deliver itself. As a result, it can spend hours at a time remaining perfectly still. When motionless, its mottled plumage resembles the bark of a tree. But as prey approaches, this bird strikes, descending on nearly silent wings.

" Tawny frogmouths are remarkable birds. They don't rely on fancy plumage or elaborate dances to find love ❤️ Instead, they emit a low-pitched vocalisation as you can see here, that's music to their potential mate's ears! "

From its front with its beak pointed upwards, it looked just like the rough bark of the tree. We had nearly missed it.
