Mystery #1, Seymour Yesterday

I'm a Melbourne resident... went to Seymour yesterday, where the birds a quite different.  Would love someone to I.D. this bird for me.  Seemed to be  slightly smaller than a Currawong. Beak was orange/red/brown and a touch of rufous in the tail and neck. HELP!!!

Thanks Shorty..  I had spotted the Dollarbird in my Simpson & Day but the colour seemed too dark...  After your comment I upped the exposure and guess what!  Much obliged...  Frank
