This is something of a long shot as the head of the bird is not visible. However, the tail looks quite distinctive and the field guide only shows tails from the side.

Additional info is that the bird had a white / pale throat and probably also a dark crown. It was high up in the canopy and fed like a flycatcher, flying out and back to the same perch.

Appreciate that this may well be a lost cause.....

Thank you, I was considering Northern Fantail as this fits quite well. However, I was unsure of the tail shape - most fantails have a rounded / wedged tail but I found images for Northern that show it to have a more notched /forked tail.
