    I will be the first to admit that the IQ on this is very poor, but I am posting it for rarity value. This tiny "Flycatcher" is found only in a small area covering parts of Sudan, Uganda , Ethiopia, Kenya and the far north of Tanzania. Unfortunately being only 15cm tall and a long way away I would have needed a rather larger lens.

    It is perched on the skull of Cape Buffalo in Kidepo National Park, Northern Uganda, 14th June 2012

    Magnificent image Sir,
    Seeing for the first time.Beautiful flycatcher with nice colors.I like the nice details,interesting perch and lovely background.
    I would love to see it in vertical composition. Will perch make it complicated?

    TFS.

    Yes to a vertical here as well. Good detail and BG. Just too much negative space.

    Image quality isn't that bad! Nice colours and pose. Agree with a vertical crop.
