Welcome back, Doctor.

James has probably deflated more than one ego in his time;-)

Guess it is the brown lower upper-parts (as opposed to brownish-grey) that give this one away.

Hello Doctor and another welcome back,

Yes, indeed, it's a lifer for you! As Hanno states, the rich coloring, lack of grey tones, tells the story. Also the rufousy uppertail coverts visible, and streaking apparent on breast-sides. Nice fresh plumage of Brown-streaked Fly.

Now let the experts come and verify o --- I mean experts other than Hanno!!
Kind regards,
Marie
