Looking for a name for this singing bird ?

I got pictures of this bird this morning at Brisbane, QLD. It has distinct tail and body shape. Do you happen to know what it is ?. Distance from camera to bird was 50m - 70m so I am not clear about its size ?

Not 100% sure but I think it may be a Grey Shrike-Thrush. Perhaps listen to the call to see if it matches what you heard.

I had the same first impression of a grey shrike-thrush, but hard to say in those lighting conditions and angle. You would be within its range

Thanks Zosterops, Michael-Kerry and HelloBirdy for confirming that it is a Grey Shrike-Thrush.
