Leaden Flycatcher?

At Samsonvale again, exact same spot as the cuckoo.

I struggle with flycatchers. I'm guessing Leaden but happy to be corrected. Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Always find these a challenge. I had the same problem yesterday but settled on Satin as it was so blue-black compared to the leaden-grey I have seen. Not sure in your case as the female looks a bit pale. Sorry I seem to be no help!

Thanks Sue and Zosterops.

Zosterops I love your short & sweet answers. .

What reasons do you say this with such confidence? Just so I know what to look for.

The male is definately Leaden- upcurved breastband and under no lighting conditions would Satin appear so dull.
