How many pixels do you ned for an ID? (2 Viewers)

I have bird picture, 512x400 pixels in size, and I will post it at reduced resolution and see if you can ID the bird on the pic. I'll start with the "impossible 4x3" pixels, then update it with 8x6 pixels, then 16x12, and so on until someone can ID the bird.

Let's see who needs the fewest pixels!

NOTE ADDED LATER: A correct ID yields the full picture at once otherwise I'll update to higher pixel counts after 5 erroneous attempts - if I'm logged in.

Good Luck, Jens.

I will throw in my guess :-
Blue-capped Ifrita. Ifrita kowaldi

That was five at 16x12 - now updated to 32x24 pixels!

Hurry up now! Jens.

Not seen any other answers, but at 32x24 I'd say Yellowhammer. No idea before that!

Yes, well spotted Tom, Andy was a tad faster though. Isn't it amazing how much our brains can make out of very little?

Cheers, Jens.

I think I could've got it at 16x12 . . .
