Pachycephala rufiventris falcata
The Rufous Whistler is a "stocky bird with a large head, short stubby bill and a narrow, relatively long tail with a square or slightly forked tip. The sexes differ, with the male dark-grey above with a white throat, black breast and a reddish underbody. Many males also have a black face mask (except in northern subspecies [i.e. this one]).

Flitting about and singing out (check out this little video: https://youtu.be/oWs34CFUn3A ) in this Gum Tree near the Prison Boab Tree.
This little guy was spotted by my mum first as he flew over to this tree.
