Is this a female FigBird ?

I saw this bird this afternoon at Brisbane, QLD. Is this a female Figbird I wonder ?

Trac rather than just ID your bird i thought that I would give you pics of the 3 species in that family - Australasian Figbird, Olive-backed Oriole and Green Oriole. I am sure that will help you to ID your bird. I looked at the beak shape and body streaks more than colour as I believe that the morning light has impacted the bird's colour. It also appears to be reasonably high in the tree.

Thanks Peter. It is a close match for the female Figbird than the Orioles.

actually I am favouring Olive-backed Oriole becuse of the beak shape and length and less body streaking then A Figbird
