Pictures from the 5th of Jan. 2019 in North-East South Africa (Mkhuze).
It was pointed to me by another birder as a Blue-mantled crested flycatcher.
But looking at the pictures (and now that I got some experience with the south african birds of that area) it is for sure one between Ashy and Gray Tit-Flycatcher. Unfortunately the tail is not visible and I am not able to find another good character to tell them apart. Maybe someone familiar with the species can see something more??
Thanks for any reply
