Surely obviously a Rufous Whistler. With some edits below. Some discussion as
to age or sex. But being a likely immature does not make it not also a
female........

I think it could be an immature Rufous Whistler. I think the orange bill is
deceptive as it is created by the sun light shining through the immature
bird's bill. Will be interested to see other interpretations.

Hi Martin, Whilst I agree that it is a Rufous Whistler, because the bill is
yellow rather than black, I would favour juvenile rather than adult.
