Hi Dave, my guess would be an immature male Northern Figbird.

You've done pretty well considering.It must have been fairly poor light to start with. Your exif data shows ISO 1100 , 1/250 at 6.3 metres from the subject and at max zoom of 300mm on your 70-300mm and fully open at f5.6.And the flash did fire.The 70-300mm is pretty soft at the upper end as was our 80-400mm and it took a bit of conscious effort and time to train myself to 'zoom back' a tad to around 350mm for a much better result even taking into account the extra cropping needed to compensate for less zoom.
At 20' from the subject you've got pixels to burn with the D7000. I reckon zooming back to say around 250mm (375mm effective) could have given a better result but considering the high ISO / low shutter speed conditions the chances of a crystal sharp result were basically nil.

IMO is a juvenile male Australian (Australasian) Fig bird , Sphecotheres vieilloti like this example:Originally Posted by incisor
The female is this one:

Dave, I think that it is a Yellow Faced Honeyeater Lichenostomus chrysops.
one of my first tries with the d7000 and the 70-300mm
I only managed to take only on shot of this species at the Bundaberg botanic gardens.

Yellow faced has a very distinct black line under the eye,so I recon it is a mangrove
The frogmouth didn't survive,the damage to the wing was superficial,but the X-ray also showed a broken spine.

I'm probably not being very fair to this new 200-500 f5.6, I seem to only get it out in the forest as it's approaching dusk.
Can't wait to see what it can do when I give it some decent light.
