Wrong...

I would have been wrong too!

 

Could it be a yellow throated SHORTCLAW as we cannot see it's feet? ;)

 

I will be very interested in the answer when someone get's it right.

@Kittykat;

 

Serious gamble ... sooty chat?

I should have checked in my trusty 1993 Sasol! In the new version I have on my desk next to my laptop I checked and

 

agree with the others, but this morning I saw that it was wrong, and got out my '93 and saw that I had seen the

 

Fullerborn's in Busanga in '93. I carry my '93 on all safaris in Southern Africa, and note in it all new birds. I'm always

 

pleased to see a longclaw, my last was at Duba Plains in 2009.

Nope not a black cuckoo shrike. Here's a hint, it is a youngster.. ;)

Posted

That's as far as I got...tough one!

Posted

Difficult one - it could be an immature black flycatcher, which is almost a mature.

Nope. Here's another hint. My parents live in groups and the group helps to feed me.. ;)

Groups - a babbler, but I find no blackish babbler i southern Africa (the area I know).

Blueish tint and white spots on tail - suggesting a woodhoopoe. Juvenile redbilled has a black bill. I would expect the bill to be longer, but I have no pictures of it. Redbilled live in groups.

 

Redbilled woodhoopoe.

OK, Ill have a go with….Green Wood-Hoopoe ?? ;)

This one ought to be tricky, not only because of the not-so-good picture quality ...
