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

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 !
