Hello Paul,
Excellent image showinga juvenile Black flycatcher ( Melaenornis pammelaina) moulting in to adult plumage. This shot clearly shows the slight notch at the end of the tail, which is characteristic. Very nice composition and sharpness.
TFS,

Hello Paul,
The body of this flycatcher is not fully cover with feathers yet. You had a nice shot. Sharp focus and well exposed image. A beautiful picture from the famous Kruger Park.

Hello Paul,
You might be right; I think it is a Southern black flycatcher.
Well done

Hej Paul,
a nice capture with good details and fine composition.
I like the POV and the pose too.
Maybe the WB is not correct.
Well done.

Hello Paul

An excellent close up of this flycatcher.The eye contact is very good.
The POV and DOF are well handled,and the OOF BG is lovely.
Wonderful plumage detail,the feathers are well defined.
Nicely composed on the diagonal cutting branch.
