can anyone identify this black bird?

I saw this black bird in sydney this morning - very similar almost exactly to a grey butcherbird in size & shape- but all black including beak - very glossy feathers giving off a blue tinge. Cant work out what is was but it was a curious bird and seemed to engage

I live well outside it's range but I think this is a Spangled Drongo, Michaela.
