Hi guys
Without seeing the undertail structure, you have to say this bird is a Leaden
Flycathcer. The first image has a lot of warm browns on the underside & also on
the upperparts that do not appear on the 2nd image. I would sy without a better
set of pics that you can go no further than a Leaden. Maybe some better pics
can be obtained...??!! Cheers Martin Cachard,Cairns,0428 782 808
