About the Gambaga Flycatcher
The Gambaga flycatcher (Muscicapa gambagae) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is sparsely distributed across the Sudan (region) and the Arabian Highlands.

It is similar in appearance to the spotted flycatcher, but can be distinguished by its smaller size and less distinct streaking. Wikipedia →
