Morocco - help with species id (1 Viewer)

Observed this bird in the Midelt area of Morocco on September 26. Merlin identified it as Red-breasted Flycatcher, but that seems unlikely due to the location. Any assistance in identification would be appreciated.IMG_2104.JPG
 
Not too far off - looks to be Pied flycatcher from this single image, though tricky angle. I'd expect RbF to have a more extensive buff suffusion to the underparts, a slightly better defined eye ring, and perhaps a hint of a grey shawl around the nape.
Do you have any more images (no matter how poor)?

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, I have no other photo.
