Lalage tricolor
Though these are not great shots, I'm adding this bird to my collection as it was my first sighting. I've visited this area so many times & have never heard his call, nor seen him. Typically 16 to 18 cm long, White-winged Trillers eat a variety of insects, which are taken on the ground, from in foliage, or in the air. - Wikipedia
White-winged Trillers are fairly common in woodland, and open scrub through most of their range, and close to riverbeds in the central arid zone. The conspicuous male bird—black above and white below in breeding plumage—trills cheerfully through much of the day during the breeding season (mid-spring to early summer), frequently rising on fluttering wings in song flight. - Wikipedia

I've never seen this bird before kd & it states everywhere I read, how common they are. I hope they return.
You are fortunate Leanne! Once fairly frequently sighted, but not seen much where I am these days.
