Description: Myiagra ruficollis: Mangroves by the site of the Old Jetty (no longer there), Mangrove Point, Town Beach, Broome, Kimberley, Western Australia. I can now confirm on very good authority that this is indeed a Broad-billed Flycatcher. Diagnostics include : a broad bill (as shown here and following shots); rictal bristles around base of beak are longer in BB Flycatcher than Leaden FC. ; stepping of tailfeathers at the bottom of the tail when viewed from the front which this photo shows. Thankyou Hone :-)
