Oh my.... how lovely this wee guy is Kamst!!!

..... and what a wonderful find for you too, this is the first picture to come in for this species.

I'll upload it to The Opus shortly - many thanks for sharing it with us my friend.

EDIT: Oh I've just realised that, although you've used the correct common name, the scientific name goes to Yellow-throated Tinkerbird, which isn't found in The Gambia!!, so we're still missing pictures of that species.

I've now amended the scientific name, I hope you don't mind.
 
Hi Delia. No surprise to me that this somewhat enigmatic bird (hard to trace) never appeared on Birdforum. I'll upload 2 more pictures, that might show the yellow patch on its front
more clearly. Cheers F.
