Correct identification?
[edit]
At Flickr this picture is said to portrait a Brubru (Nilaus afer). The photo is taken in Botswana. Compared to the pictures I can find it looks more like several other species of the Malaconotidae family.
- Black-backed Puffback (Dryoscopus cubla) is found in Botswana.
- Tropical Boubou Laniarius aethiopicus and escpesially the subspecies Laniarius aethiopicus limpopoensis that is found in neighouring South Zimbabwe.
- Southern Boubou (Laniarius ferrugineus) is found in Eastern Botswana.
But of course this could be one of the subspecies of the Brubru that we don't have any other pictures of. / Achird (talk) 13:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- Note that the picture File:690V4693 - Flickr - Lip Kee.jpg, also said to be a Brubru, is taken just two minutes later. It is thus possible that it even shows the same individual. / Achird (talk) 14:00, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- The bird at the picture at World Wildlife Images: Dryoscopus cubla okavangensis is so close to the bird at this picture that I will reidentify it as Dryoscopus cubla. Several other photos is also very similar. / Achird (talk) 14:34, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
