It is a fairly shy bird and I haven't managed a photo so far. It has a delightful song especially early in the day but also throughout the day.
Scientific name : Colluricincla harmonica
Common name : Grey Shrike-thrush
It is drab grey bird of similar size to the Oriole. Diet includes insects, spiders, frogs and lizards and maybe fruit and seeds. It is a difficult bird to get to know as it rapidly decamps whenever it is approached. The link to the song really does not do it justice - the birds around here are more melodic :

It is a lovely bird to hear and have around on the property
