I saw this species myself when I was in South Africa! Some general comments for now; I have a detailed look soon.


 * Any chance to get a distribution map? In my opinion, these are super important and essential.
 * Will ask another editor, not really great at these myself.
 * Males and females look identical I assume? Worth mentioning I think.
 * Added.
 * Is it strictly resident or migratory? Could be mentioned. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 03:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Added.
 * What about a box with links to sound examples from xeno canto, as done is some other bird articles? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 03:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Added.
 * ashy blue-grey flycatcher, bluegrey flycatcher – I think these are different spellings of the same name, not different names.
 * Removed.
 * species's placement – better "placement of the species"?
 * Done.
 * both of these species – "these two species"?
 * Done.
 * Iris color, leg color and bill color? Should be mentioned I think.
 * Added,
 * has a varied repertoire of call types and many different calls – isn't "and many different calls" redundant?
 * No, call types are basically types of calls, distinguished by their function, and different calls refers to different calls within each type.
 * I would link song and call. Not every reader knows the difference between the two, I think.
 * Linked both, but I think they both currently redirect to the same article.
 * Ashy flycatchers also have a variety of calls, – already mentioned
 * Reworded.
 * The ashy flycatcher is mainly breeds – grammar
 * Fixed.
 * western South Africa – are you sure? I saw one in eastern South Africa.
 * Fixed.
 * BOW states "south along western South Africa", and the range map there also only shows it occurring in western SA.
 * That should be a mistake, and their range map clearly shows it in eastern SA, not western. The IUCN range map also shows it in eastern SA. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 13:34, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Man I really need some sleep, fixed.
 * link woodland, not everybody knows what the difference is between woodland and forest.
 * Done.
 * What do you think about a "similar species" section? I think this is what many readers are primarily interested in (since they want to identify their observation).
 * Added.
 * That's all I have! Nice article. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 05:49, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Addressed all inline. Thanks for the review, this was an article I wrote a while back, so was missing a lot of stuff it should've had. AryKun (talk) 15:00, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, looks good, I am promoting now, assuming that you will ask somebody to make a nice range map ;) Jens Lallensack (talk) 15:14, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
