The Black Butcherbirds here at Kuranda also have rufous young which change 
gradually to black, and personally I doubt the existence of a rufous morph as 
such, I suspect it's one of those things that gets into the literature and then 
stays there. It is possible they might breed in subadult plumage I suppose, but 
I would expect them to moult into black plumage later.
