Need help identifying this bird from the Okavango Delta (1 Viewer)

[Skater88]

Hi, I'm hoping the experts on this forum can help me identify the large bird standing behind the Sacred Ibis in the photo I'm attaching.

The picture was taken in the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta in Botswana in August.

I couldn't find the bird in the guide I was using: "Birds of Southern Africa" by Ian Sinclair. Nor could I find it on the Wiki page for birds of Botswana. It's been driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance!

It's a juvenile Saddle-billed Stork, hence the drabber colours.

Thanks for the help.:t:

I did have a picture of an adult. Yes, the juvenile's colours are drabber.
