In our first area of Uganda the sooty chat was ubiquitus. I got lots of photos of it on the hill between Nkima Forest Lodge and Mabamba Swamp southwest of Entebbe. In fact, I got sick of it and quit taking photos. I believe I saw them in Murchison Falls NP, but took no photos and I don't recall seeing them in Kidepo Valley NP, but may have been just completely ignoring them.
The male is glossy black except for a white patch on each wing and the female is dark brown and has no white patch.
