Chat Flycatcher
Superficially resembling a Familiar Chat, this is one of the world's drabbest flycatchers. Its brownish underparts do not contrast much with its slightly darker back but note the buffy edges to the tertials and lack of an obvious eyering. Based on range, this should be the race "A. i. benguellensis" characterized by smaller size, shorter bill and dull grayish upperparts as seen here. Sometimes spelled "Chat-flycatcher" and sometimes placed in the genus "Bradornis" or "Melaenornis."
