Common Fiscal?

Bird ID is very difficult for me at least, this looks like a Common Fiscal but has no "white streak" on the back. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Taken in Mikumi Tanzania.

I'm in the same boat. I have no idea what it is but it sure is a nice sharp capture, Ken!

Hello Ken, pleasant image, always something extra when the bird looks around and more or less at the camera. Excellent exposure here as well. Sorry, but I am useless about the ID.. Cheers, hans

Beautiful shot Ken - such a typical shrike pose and setting. Maybe a Long-tailed Fiscal???

cheers
