Hi, could someone please help me in identifying the attached bird, seen in Namibia near Waterberg in February 2011.

Thanks!

Hi OrxyEater,

Pretty sure this is a Rockrunner (Achaetops pycnopygius). Also sometimes referred to as Damara Rockjumper.

Agreed on rockrunner. I was in Namibia in August, but we only had rockrunner at Erongo.
