African Shrike-flycatchers show clear differences between the sexes. They inhabit African lowland forest, where they eat insects and may wag the tail while perched.
Males have a black head, back, and tail with white underparts. Females have a brown back, a gray-brown head and rear neck, and brown streaks on the white underparts.
It occurs in dry and moist lowland forest. The species account notes side-to-side tail wagging while perched and a diet that includes insects.
