Hmm I'm rusty with my African birds, but I'm pretty sure that's not a chat flycatcher (silhouette, pale legs and bill, head pattern).
I'd say it's a pipit, possibly African, but I wouldn't stake my life on it. Posted 4 years ago

The African pipit

The African pipit is a fairly small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus "Anthus" in the family Motacillidae. It is also known as the grassveld pipit or grassland pipit. It was formerly lumped together with the Richard's, Australasian, mountain and paddyfield pipits in a single species, Richard's pipit, but is now often treated as a species in its own right.
