General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
You'd think this was related to the Willie Wagtail. Very similar on first sighting. But they have a white throat, compared to the Willies black throat.
From the front they also look like a White-winged Triller. But the Triller has white patches on it's wings compared with the solid blue/black of the Flycatcher.

This species is protected and classed as

RA (Rare)
