Mystery Bird - photo

Well the rufous call is very different to the Golden so given the inland location I'd now say Rufous minus rufous pigmentation, What's the word for 'lacking rufous':?.

Coastal whistlers have quite different calls.

Yes, call heard clearly (and have it on video). To my ear it is carbon copy of Rufous Whistler.

No idea where Blackheath is ( I know the London one). Looks like a Golden minus yellow. Don't suppose you heard it call at all?

Here’s a snap (only slightly more than 200kb) of the bird seen at Blackheath 

Thoughts?
