Good Morning Everyone.

I came back from a fantastic 10 days in Kruger. Got 5 species that I saw that aren't clear to me... Wondering if anyone can confirm my sucpicions?

I believe that this guy is an Ashy Flycatcher.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would go for Pale Flycatcher. Overall color is more brownish than the distinct blue grey of the Ashy Flycatcher. Also no white line from eye to bill.
