Looks like that's what it is, David, though the Hawaiian Noddy isn't too different. If you have a shot showing the feet, the brown's are black and the Hawaiian's are orange. The Hawaiian is also more gray than brown, but that can be a pretty tricky color difference-it doesn't take mush difference in the lighting to make gray look brown.

Feet are orange so must be Hawaiian Noddy.
