Thanks, from what I've found that's what I think as well, though I can't find any info on what the exact diagnostic characteristics are. From what I can see I'm not 100% it isn't an african dusky flycatcher or pale flycatcher..

The upper part of the eye-ring can be seen, although blurred, on the first photo. Colour also wrong for other species, this bird is really grey, others pale brown (Pale F.) or darker brown (A. Dusky F.).
