Help to identify a bird?

Below is a photograph of a bird I can't identify. It was taken in Cape York last year in August or September.

Can anyone help please?

Fantastic! Really appreciate your help Beef.

The fact sheet quoted the distribution as follows;

Where does it live?

Distribution: 

The Apostlebird is found in eastern Australia in inland areas from lower Cape York Peninsula, Queensland to northern Victoria and from Naracoorte to Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. There is also an isolated population in the Elliott and Katherine areas, Northern Territory.
