Sorry about the poor-quality photos, the bird was not cooperating and the light was horrible

I believe it is either a female Leaden or Satin Flycatcher. Definitely not a Restless, you can see the orange-buff throat/breast.

I knew this would cause some problems. All three are possible and the male restless has orange on the throat with white under the bill which I persuaded myself I could see through the twigs when blown up. We need a category where it is " impossible to be sure of identification " birds can be filed. The restless is the least common of the three locally. Always open to discussion wherein lies progress.

I'm a rank amateur when it comes to these things...but doesn't the fact that the dark head colour stops at the eye (see image #2) mean that it's a got to be a Restless?

I agree with BLSHTwo, definitely not a Restless, I'm putting it in the category of Satin/Leaden since its not really possible to tell from this image
