Bris black/green with red eyeshadow

I've seen a bird i can find on google anywhere. I live in south brisbane.it was n a mulberry tree.
It's a greenish black (or blackish green depending on how you look at it) with red around it's eyes. About little bigger than a common myna but the same shape. The red was like the yellow on a common myna. Hope someone can help.

Hello, sounds like a male figbird. The females are a dull brown with streaks on the front.

That's it! I had seen the female but assumed it was a young butcher bird or something but nope both figbirds. Thanks so much :)
