Kym,
 
Shining Bronze-Cuckoo and the Flycatcher is much harder. Clearly a female Leaden or Satin Flycatcher. The former is statistically far more likely. It would help to know where is the tree. As in what habitat? Not being there, it is hard to know and even if you are, it is still hard. I doubt that your photos show enough to pick. I guess someone could diagnose which species it is by calculating the width of her beak from your photo. I believe there is a slight difference.
 
Philip
