Comment number:   1
By:   Colin Summersgill
Comment:   Think that this is Malawi Batis (Batis dimorpha), rather than Chinspot, for which I would expect some fine white on the primaries.

Comment:   Agree, no fine white on the primaries points towards Malawi Batis (sub-specie B. c. dimorpha according to IOC 7.2 - not a full specie)
