Message: <blockquote data-quote="MacNara" data-source="post: 3667960" data-attributes="member: 23290">Thank you as always, Andy.I was hopeful about the starling because it was in the right place. As I said, I couldn't find a picture of Sharp-tailed in flight. But the picture seemed a match for Sasol's description (wedge-shaped tail, underwings look pale, not just black. However, after your post, I searched for Burchell's again, and found <a href="https://www.featurepics.com/online/Burchells-Starling-2446879.aspx" target="_blank">this picture</a> which is amost exactly like mine. So Burchell's.Hartlaub's Babbler! I should have remembered. And the Crombec sounds fine.And thanks for the Fiscal Flycatcher. I'm really glad I posted this. I have never seen either bird, and when I was looking through Sasol, starting from the back, I came on the Hyliota. The bird in my picture has the same kink in the neck colouring which Sasol marks as an ID point, and has a yellowish throat. It was only because it was so out of range that I posted. If only I'd looked two pages further in Sasol!Are you OK with the Pale Flycatcher ID?The warbler if it is - red legs, so would have to be Whitethroat, but might be something else entirely - and the lark I didn't really expect to identify, so if Pale Flycatcher is OK, then my identification for this trip is done.Thanks once more.</blockquote>
