I'd be interested to hear what people think of this bird's ID:

Seen in Mkhuze.

Cheers

Interesting pix... My first impression is that it is a young bird, black cuckooshrike. Apart from that I'll need to do lots of research to back up what my gut-feel is...

I'm keen to seen what other opinions come up

@Niall:
I'm not quite sure what to make of the first one. My first thoughts were Bushveld Pipit but those were just fleeting thoughts :wink: , I think JvR might be closer to the truth.
