Stumped: a thrush, a scrub-robin? Pattern should be easy to ID. Not finding a match @ http://www.tanzaniabirds.net/

Could be olive-bellied sunbird (Nectarinia chloropygius), but glossy rump suggests N. preussi? Not sure...

Description

Tough without the frontal shot, but the slate grey back, yellow eyes, and white tail tip suggest African goshawk? Not 100% confident of this ID.

This shrike is puzzling to me. I'm inclined to ID it as a Mackinnon's shrike because of the grey back with no white spot on the wings, but it's doesn't have any white on wings. Only shrike this color in range though....
