Thanks all for your ID.  Sorry the information came in bits.  The very low data size limit makes it difficult to transmit photos and my attempts kept failing.

I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Japan.  Not a lot of birds but some nice viewing – many good observations of the impressive Grey Heron.

 

But this lovely passerine I watched on the island of Naoshima in the inland sea, I am unable to identify.  Any ideas?  Pictures of male and female attached.

 

Incidentally, when I returned to Sydney, I travelled up to the North Shore to collect my car from my daughter’s place, still in an overnight-travel haze (me, not the car), and the first bird I am aware of is, firstly the unearthly call, then a good fly-over of a Channel-billed Cuckoo.  That perked me up for the rest of the day.
