I'd go for a bird like a Leaden-or Satin-Flycatcher. Have a look in a book or the bird finder if it's the right size? Or even a White-breasted Woodswallow? Was the bird more white or yellow? The patch in his face is something on the tree though?
I might be far off the mark? Let's wait what others say
This has to be the very best way to identify a bird - thanks so much all for your time. SteveM, I think male Fairy Gerygone is the answer. Araminta, I magnified to the max and that patch was not the tree. I see the white on the Fairy Gerygone in the books. Many thanks again.

Male Fairy Gerygone?
what about white breasted whistler juvenile male?
just a thought though maybe the range is an issue?
Cheers Beef.
