Cuckooshrike or woodswallow, Australia? (1 Viewer)

Taken in Rockingham, WA just south of Perth in March, I thought this was a Black-faced Cuckooshrike but now wonder if it is a Masked Woodswallow, despite not being able to see any white arc around the black face. The low stance and seemingly similar tail and wing lengths make me doubt Cuckooshrike. I can't recall actual size.
