The African grey flycatcher, grayish flycatcher, or large flycatcher (Bradornis microrhynchus) is a passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that occurs in parts of East Africa.
Taxonomy: The African grey flycatcher was previously placed in the genus Melaenornis but was moved to Bradornis based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010. The subspecies B. m. pumilus is sometimes considered a full species, the Ethiopian grey flycatcher (Bradornis pumilus).
Distribution and habitat: It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
