Little bird need to be id

Derby Jetty WA 21/09/2015
Mangrove  area 
My idea was of a grey whistler but it would be out of range or a lemon flycatcher but that yellow bits on the sides......it could be the flycatcher race tormenti?
any help

please

Sorry guys but i'm not agree and after more reserch thats what i found:

Microeca tormenti a subspecie of the microeca flavigaster founded only betwwee Broome and kimberley area.

A subspecie of the Lemon-bellied flycatcher (robin)

Other records of this bird in Derby :-)

As been difficult but 

What do you think

No, it's definitely a Jacky Winter

Why as got that yellow on the sides? 

WhistlingDuck

Be more helpful to say why its "definitely a Jack Winter" or why its something else.

That white/pale lemon line on the front of the wing makes me think its not a Jacky Winter. In my Pizzey&Knight the Microeca tormenti has that line, and the Jacky Winter does not. Also the JW has "conspicious white outer tail feathers" which I do not see in the photos presented.

Also look at this page - from Derby Jetty !  - http://9001birds.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/lemon-bellied-flycatcher.html

*Jacky, not 'jaky', *Winter, not 'winnter', *convince, not 'convice', and when you said 'doesn't not' you didn't need to say 'not' because 'doesn't' is abbreviated for 'does not' *WhistlingDuck not 'WhistelingDuck'. I'm sorry, I can't but wonder if you are a spammer? I don't mean to be rude but...

Are you sure? To me you come across as very rude. Perhaps Caliagianluca27's first language is not English? 

Why would a spammer ask for id without a link to some scam site?

Sorry i can't help you Cali27 but i am still learning the birds myself, but there are a lot of very clever people on this site that will help.

Oh, and Tegan if you find any spelling or grammar mistakes in this, feel free to keep them.

Thank you very much. Sometimes people just missunderstand thinks. All fine, world is interesting because we are all different.

No Rawshorty, I certainly did NOT mean to be rude, I sincerely was trying to help but they did not appreciate it! I wasn't trying to be rude by correcting their spelling mistakes, I was just trying to help! If English is not their first language, then I really am sorry, the only reason I suspected a spammer was just the spelling mistakes, but once again really sorry.

Rawshorty I visited this site for so long before I became a member and I've seen lots of your photos and respect you as a person and a photographer but I hope we can be friends? I'm not a rude person, honestly.

Hmmm... I see what you mean. Yes, after some research, potentially a lemon-bellied flycatcher, but I don't really know. Now that you've pointed it out, I don't think either would have so much tint on the front. Maybe a juvenile? Whistlingduck, the morcombe guide doesn't show the line on either of the birds. However, I agree that the tail feather colours suggests it is not a Jacky Winter after all. This is where we have to hope either owl of kedumba or zoosterops will jump in... Sorry I couldn't have been more help, but at least my guess of Jacky Winter wouldn't have been too far off- The correct page of my field guide :)

So yes, I am in favour of the Lemon-bellied flycatcher theory. Or would I be dreaming if I suggested the vagrant blue-and white flycatcher?

Hi all

Agree with Lemon Bellied Flycatcher

They do look very similar to Jacky Winters. However I have seen both species in the wild and have lived near a family of Jacky Winters for some years, so I am happy to weigh-in and say it's more likely the Lemon Bellied. 

The slightly darker wing-shoulders, the faintest touch of yellow on both the wing and breast as well as the habbitat (the lemon-bellied is also known as the "Kimberly Flycatcher") are all indicators to me. 

I've included a couple of Jacky Winter photos for comparison. 

Happy birding

Lol! This thread was more fun to read than watching an episode of, "The Vicar of Dibley".

Lemon-bellied Flycatcher.

Even young Jacky Winters have white in their tails, they don't have the light eyebrow marking this one has. True not all L-B.F have ,but, some do. Jacky winters don't.

In these poor photos you can see still some yellow streaks/patches on it's wing and belly.

Cheers

Just come across it, this is gold.:-)

Good lesson on how communication on the interwebedness can fraught with danger :-)
