Pied flycatcher? Mauritania (1 Viewer)

Truly massive passage today at the waste water site north of Nouakchott.

This bird was one of them. Is it poorly marked young pied flycatcher. I can't make it out as anything else?

All help gratefully received.

Possibly a worn adult female? The absence of a primary patch (vertical notch) is supposedly a field mark for a 1st winter bird, but the edges of the tertials don't look that that broad to me (is it also missing one?).
