Been sometime i went out to photograph birds. Help ID this bird, bit confused if it is an immature Grey streaked flycatcher or Ash breasted flycatcher. Thanks.   Canon 1d2, 400 f/6.5, 1/250, iso 400, hand held, Palay-palay, Cavite.  Canon 1d2, 400 f/6.5, 1/250, iso 400, hand held, Palay-palay, Cavite. |

Interesting! Not apparently an immature Grey-streaked nor an Ashy-breasted. The choice is between adult Grey-streaked and Asian Brown. Any more photos that show other features better?

Wow, the KG says the Asian Brown Flycatcher is a rare migrant recorded in the southern Philippines. I have never seen one. Dennis captured this bird in Mt. Palay-Palay, Cavite.
Dennis, where in Palay-Palay did you see it, and at about what time of the day?

I understand Grey -streaked Flycatcher can be quite variable in its streaking but this bird also has the whitish lores and extensive yellow lower mandible of Asian Brown, and the eye-ring looks too even in shape and thickness for Dark-sided.
