Hi Jean and Michael, we recorded both wallaby species in the camera traps at Bluett's Block. This is a Black (Swamp) Wallaby. It lacks red on its rump and has darker, longer back fur than a RNW. The reddish fur on top of the head and on the back of the ears is normal for this species. (Red-necked Wallaby would have been better named as red-rumped. )
