At first glance, I thought one of the Muscicapa, but enlarging the image, the bill looked too heavy and the head shape was off. I have learnt, birding in Africa, that if you get an odd looking bird with a speckled head (and in this case I can just see some speckling on the breast to the left under the wing) look at Violet-backed starling juveniles, almost always a hit. I wasn't sure about the yellow gape at first, but sure enough... and checking the "summary" of your locus, it occurs there. |
