Hi Nigel, no sadly not front on - he never turned around for me! I did post this on ABID for ID and someone ID’d it as a leaden - the image in original shows a difference in colour between the eyes and the head which the moderator suggested was a Leaden - I have video (but only audio) of a different individual (female two days earlier) but again she was difficult to ID just from audio -I thought leaden but another member thought Satin - they are so tricky!! But I’m thrilled with seeing them in my garden either way !

Hi Span102,
Leaden and Satin Flycatcher males are very hard to tell apart unless you have a view of the chest, or hear the song. I'm not game to call this one, other moderators may be more confident!
Do you have any front on pictures?
Regards
Nigel
