Though poor photos, they look new to me.  Please kindly help ID it.

Interesting bird.  With a hooked bill and plumage pattern, I think it is either a Blue and White or a Brown-chested Flycatcher.  You may be able to tell more from its behaviour.  Blue and white like to patch high, like this bird.  Brown-chested prefer thick bushes and stay lower.

Thank you, Chairman, for the response.  Between the two, I think it is more likely to be a Blue and White because it looks big and has a white lower part.
