Please can I have Id help of this Hornbill (presume its a Hornbill 🤞😀), poor photo taken early morning with sun rising behind at Salt Lick Lodge, Tsavo West Kenya bank in February 2020 while on a Safari trip. Thank
 
Thank you always bugged me not properly ID'ing it , was a long way off & was a snapshot before driver moved on unaware of its presence as with a lot of birds, but being a Safari trip he was looking out for the animals more.
 
Grey Hornbill . . . Reddish colour is unusual
Yes, a male. Or colour from early morning/evening light? - but the rest of the photo doesn't seem to show that - and even the upper body seems reddish while neck and head aren't, which may not quite fit the soil theory 🤷🏻
