Bradornis microrhynchus
Some 15cm in length, grey upperparts and pale underparts, lightly streaked crown. Note the tick next to its eye.
Endemic to East Africa, seen in savannahs (here Nairobi NP)
This was a lucky encounter while driving around in Nairobi NP - I noticed this small bird in a fleeting moment, and stopped the car... and was then lucky enough that the bird was patient enough to pose for few shots... Apparently, since 2010 placed in genus Melaenornis - which is still not reflected in many sources (IUCN, specialised books etc).
