not sure if it is a female Leaden or Satin Flycatcher as both have been seen in the ANBG recently

Not sure either, I'd be tending more towards Satin because the throat is darker.

RodDeb, I don't know if you want to post in ABID, this may be helpful to get a proper ID.

after 18 hours on ABID this is the only reply so must think it is difficult as well, so looks like it will be staying like this. Thanks for your help and suggestion.
Just a note when I did a "quick search" on Leaden/Satin Flycatcher it came back "This record no longer exists or has been deleted". It also did this on another search for another name. So this may need to be looked at, please.
Below is the reply at ABID

I’d go with female Satin, undertail appears dark, colour on the wings is a lighter brown and the colour under the throat appears quite rich but I’m not 100% sure from these photos.

Thanks, I think the general consensus seems to be Satin, so might confirm, especially if any more people agree with Satin.

Okay thanks Luke, don't think will hear anymore on ABID but will let you know if we do.
Will leave it in your capable hands. Appreciate your efforts.
