Black Cuckooshrike

Last summer, in July 2025, we visited Kidepo Valley NP in eastern Uganda. Our guide William identified a black cuckooshrike standing in a tree and iNaturalist also gave a list of possibilities for the bird, the first being black cuckooshrike. No one has agreed to the identification as of yet. I must admit I'm not convinced, but nothing has contradicted the identification yet.
