I got pictures of this bird this morning at Brisbane QLD. It constantly moving around and moved its tail from side to side. Is this a Restless Flycatcher ?

This is a male Leaden flycatcher. the black hood does not extend down the throat on the Restless Flycatcher. Check your field guide and you will see what i mean.

Thanks Snail for your confirmation.

Satin flycatcher is a possibility too, I doubt we can ID specifically in this case, as they are hard enough to differentiate with good views.

Yes , Satin Flycatcher is certainly a possibility in this case, looking from underneath in the shade. LF was my general impression, particularly from the 3rd photo. In my experience, in good light, the males are readily distinguishable. Females on the other hand....
