Apologies for the quality but this is all I managed. The bird looks like a Whistler to me but is quite white on the breast and with only my phone app nothing seems to fit. It was at the Chinaman Reservoir in Cloncurry. Help appreciated, thanks

I think its a Rufous Whistler.
Female Rufous Whistler.
Yep - definitely female rufous whistler.
Love these cheery little guys.
A female Rufous Whistler for me too
Thaks everybody, I had not expected such a white breast as I have seen them more buff. Did not want to mislabel it when out of my comfort zone, Sue
It is a Rufous Whistler, although it appears to be a juvenile as the bird has heavier streaks than that of a typical adult female, and note also the yellow at the base of the mandible.
