Sorry, I can't really tell from these photos. I think the male photos (in your other post) are too indistinct. Also one seems to show a more curved meeting of dark and light on the breast, the other appears to be straighter. Equally the female photos don't really show it definitively one way or the other, although for me the colour perhaps slightly suggests Leaden.

Regards
Simon

Given the location, a Leaden is most likely. I have recently been given an education on Flycatchers by a very helpful ebird reviewer. The edges on the wing feathers appear whitish which would also suggest a Leaden. He also sent me a link to Graeme Chapman's site, where you can see his photos and notes on Satin FC: http://www.graemechapman.com.au/index.php which are extremely good in helping identify the differences in the two species.
