Hi everyone. Could I please get an ID on these pratincoles? Saw them on the Chobe River in Botswana a few years ago in October on different days. I’m trying to distinguish between black-winged and collared pratincoles. These could be both or either one!
^ This individual was from the first day. I'm thinking it could be a Collared Pratincole due to having more red on the bill and the streamers appear longer than the wing feathers from what I can gather.
^ This image( two shots of the same individual) from the second day looks more like a Black-winged pratincole to me because the wing feathers look longer and the bill doesn't have as much red.
I could be wrong! Any help would be appreciated thank you.
