Need some help with identifiying this little brown thing, took the picture on a holiday to Kenya in October 07 and have just found the picture. The picture was taken while on the Sabaki river walk. Can anyone help with the identity.

Many thanks everyone my first choice was a fly catcher but still learning so just needed to check. :)
 
Nobody think Pale Flycatcher as a possibility?

Pale flycatcher shows an unstreaked crown and mostly plain underparts with no contrast between breast and belly. General colour is also more buffish-beige in Pale.

Compare with this Pale fly:http://www.warwicktarboton.co.za/birdpgs/696PaFly.html

Ginger, do you have any other pics of this bird? Because I must admit that the ID is not straightforward on this shot, even if Spotted fly seems the most likely...

Edit: cross posted with BBB
 
i have been told that i was really inconsiderate when taking the photograph that i didnt take enough and from different angles. I will check but i really think its the best one.

The streaked crown is more obvious on the 3rd shot of the last set of pics: Spotted Flycatcher...:t:
