No idea this time

Ok folks, once again i need your help and this time i have no idea what this is. I have searched the web for hours and even got a bird book from my brother and can't find it.

Taken in bush outside of Canberra, a little smaller than a Silver Eye.

Two shots supplied, first one i cut off the tail a bit and second one a branch is in the way but shows the tail.

You help will be greatly appreciated.

I think it is a female Satin Flycatcher (never seen one) if not a Leaden, the orange-rufous colour looks more dark.

Thanks Curtis. They are very similar birds to each other but after a lot of research i am swaying to the Leaden. Thanks for giving me a place to start as i had no idea what it was.

Broad-billed Flycatcher?

When i checked on this i thought what? another one that looks the same? But i have found out they live in the northern tropical regions and no where near Canberra, so we can rule this one out.
