Again this was taken at Samsonvale Qld, just north of Brisbane.
I have not manipulated the colour other than slightly lifting the shadows and slightly reducing the highlights.

Probs a juvi male Satin or Leaden
Tegan - Melbourne Vic.
Definately Leaden. Satin is noticabley darker and glossier.

It's hard to say for certain, and even slight tweaks can really affect the colour it so probably best to give us an un-edited image for flycatcher IDs.
That said, I too would lean towards Leaden, from colour and the shape of the breastband

IDing male Satin/Leaden is not always a huge challenge. It can be at a distance or in poor light, but at close range and in decent light like the photos above, the difference is clear and obvious. A slight shadow lift and highlight reduction will not have had a significant effect on the overall tone and sheen of the plumage.Here is a photo of a Satin that I grabbed from google images.

Thanks for your help guys. I would also lean more towards a Leaden as it definately didn't have that much sheen.
