Details
Heard two birds, then saw female bird high in canopy. Harsh buzzing flycatcher call. Loud, almost shrill, double 'ee-shoo, ee-shoo' call (poor description) and bright rufous on breast suggested Satin Flycatcher. Tail appeared rather pale underneath when strongly backlit, but expert advice was that Satin Flycatcher was most likely at this altitude (1305 m). Female bird repeatedly fed a juvenile Brush Cuckoo - for photos of the flycatcher, see entry for Brush Cuckoo on this list.

Exotic species
Exotic species flags differentiate locally introduced species from native species.
Naturalized: Exotic population is self-sustaining, breeding in the wild, persisting for many years, and not maintained through ongoing releases (including vagrants from Naturalized populations). These count in official eBird totals and, where applicable, have been accepted by regional bird records committee(s).
Provisional: Either: 1) member of exotic population that is breeding in the wild, self-propagating, and has persisted for multiple years, but not yet Naturalized; 2) rarity of uncertain provenance, with natural vagrancy or captive provenance both considered plausible. When applicable, eBird generally defers to bird records committees for records formally considered to be of "uncertain provenance". Provisional species count in official eBird totals.
Escapee: Exotic species known or suspected to be escaped or released, including those that have bred but don't yet fulfill the criteria for Provisional. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals.
Sensitive
Public information for Sensitive Species is restricted due to potential harmful impact to these birds. Site-specific information is visible only to the observer and eBird reviewer(s) for the region.
We encourage you not to share specific location information about this sighting via social media, public websites, or email listservs.
Learn more about Sensitive Species in eBird.
Details
Juvenile, being fed by female flycatcher (likely Satin Flycatcher - see entry for that species). Dark grey speckles on pale grey breast, pale grey speckles on grey-brown back, rufous on head. About twice size of flycatcher (that is, smaller than I would have expected for juvenile Fan-tailed Cuckoo). Active, flying after flycatcher, opening one wing and displaying when fed. BIll yellowish. Barring under tail.
