Hi David, Tim, etc

I had overlooked the distance from the coast which makes Cicadabird less likely but I cannot picture a triller being anything like the size of a Noisy Miner. If the size is smaller than a Noisy Miner then the only possible option is juvenile White-winged Triller and the distribution supports that. I am sure that it is not an Olive-backed Oriole as the bill shape and dorsal colouration are wrong. But it does look like a juvenile Cicadabird, which is not unexpected as Cicadabirds and trillers are closely related.

Thanks Tim for the brain-stretching challenge.

Regards

Greg Clancy
