Hi Charlie,
Your bird is very strongly coloured, I am leaning towards it possibly being
a male Broad-billed Flycatcher, though several of the important ID features
are not visible. Regardless I'm sure you are right that it is a flycatcher
from the same genus as Leaden at least.
I'd be interested in other people's experience with male Broad-billed FC vs
female Leaden FC, as in Broome I always found them quite easy to tell apart
based on the richness and extent of the orange (with female Broad-bills
being a little less easy). Mind you we only had a few Leadens show up the
year I was there.
Regards,
Chris
