Near Nkima Forest Lodge northwest of Entebbe, Uganda, I observed a male and female black and white shrike-flycatcher. They have long crown feathers and a short tail. The male has black upperparts, throat and upper breast; the rest of the underparts are white and it has a yellow iris.

The female has a dark brown head; chestnut upperparts and wings; whitish underparts with washed cinnamon.

| My photos of the female are much better than of the male. |

There are three subspecies and I saw the nominate subspecies musicus.
