LBB (Microeca flavigaster)

Does anyone else have trouble with Little Brown Birds in dappled light sometimes?? I uploaded a photo of this bird last week, confident that it was a Large-Billed Geygone, AndyT kindly suggested it might actually be a Mangrove Gerygone, so I double checked on Opus and all the guide books I have, without coming to a definite conclusion. So I emailed a local bird expert and he identified it as a Lemon-bellied Flycatcher! Its all good learning experience...
