Can you guys help me with the ID for this bird? Is it the southern fiscal?
Photo taken at South Africa (a long time ago).

Thanks,

Looks like you're ID is right based on this:

In looking at the image I first thought "shrike" based on the hook on the bill - a google search of "shrikes of Africa" brought me there.
