You have to do that on any calliper that is installed upside down (I.e bleeder down).
Fun fact: if a mechanic is doing a safety on a car and notices a bleeder down caliper its a fail.

Issue resolved. Lots and lots of air in the line.
Fluid replaced and ran a few mL more than I should but line is now clear.

Colour isn't great either. Flush was a good idea. How long since last flush?
Apparently just a year at Ken’s….
Ugh. You'll always have difficulty with the bleed screw in that position. Get the bleeder pointing to the sky. Remove the caliper, find a scrap piece of material to stuff between the pads, and if possible, raise and position the caliper above the master.
Have you been riding it since then, or did you just ride it for the first time this month?
