G'day Bob,
I can't access all of the references you quoted so you need to fill in the
detail for us.
The claimed Satin male on the bottom of page 332 of the photo index book is
actually more likely a Leaden.
Satin migrates to Cape York and PNG for winter, I wouldn't think it
impossible for the odd individual to turn up in Darwin.
I am interested to hear from others based on the features we can see as to
what species they think it is, the location is secondary in regards to this,
but of obvious interest.
Cheers Jeff.

Subject: {Spam?} [Birding-Aus] RE: 'Myiagra' Flycatcher
At about this time in the discussions about Myiagra flycatchers someone
points to Graeme Chapman's excellent article on the subject
in Wingspan Vol 13 No 2 June 2003.
So it looks like it is me this time.
Also, check the photos in The Bird Observer Oct 2001 No 814.
Also also, take note of what Graeme says about one of the alleged Satin
Flycatcher photos in the National Photographic Index volume
"Robins and Flycatchers" - nice photo - wrong bird.
Gee, I wonder if that flycatcher I saw near the Noosa North Shore (Sunshine
Coast, Queensland) last Friday was a Satin and not the
Leaden I lazily assumed it was. Looking at the photos in the above
references (not mine, too busy enjoying a delightful lunch to
take photos of a 'common' species) and HANZAB gives me a bad feeling.
