Yay, finally some disagreement about flycatchers again! Yolande's one is definately a Spotted Flycatcher.

We had quite a few sightings of this bird during a recent trip to Kruger…I photographed the following early morning near Berg & Dal.

:clap:

Off course I would never want to make you sweat for nothing, but it is really rewarding when you start recognizing general body & bill shapes of bird groups. Next time something similar flies into view you might guess it's a flycatcher! :wink:
