By:   Colin Summersgill
Comment:   Difficult one this, do not think that it is an African Rock Pipit: bill too colourful and while the yellow on the wing is not always visible, in images this good it should be, nor is there any greenish yellow on the primaries. I think that this may be Long-billed? Any other thoughts?
