Juvenile Nile Valley Sunbird? Djibouti in September (1 Viewer)

Dear members and bird watchers

I had a question about the Nile Valley yesterday.

Attached bird is a bird Nile Valley but the tail is very short. I consulted my book and the juvenile have a black stripe down the throat. But I cannot see the Green Blue patch on the shoulder in my book.

Anyone that can be so kind to confirm my identity of the bird as a juvenile Nile Valley?

Kind regards and happy birding

Thank you again andyb39

I was a little confusing, first it looked like a eclipse with the coloured spot on the shoulder. No such spot in my book.

But with the short tail and the black stripe

Cheers
Kind regard and happy birding
