Frog-eating Bird ID required

Saw this bird this morning (overcaste conditions) had a frog in its mouth. Some type of honeyeater i guess.

Hi Bashir, where was this taken? Thinking Grey Shrike Thrush, although doesn't look that grey! Morcombe says frogs are part of their diet as well as lizards, insects etc.

hmmm..... not quite sure about that one Dale. Ive seen many a Grey Shrike Thrush and the shape doesnt look right. Im happy to be corrected though. Thanks anyway Dale.

Looks like a Reed-warbler- I didn't know they ate frogs though!
