Collared Palm-Thrush (Cichladusa arquata) - 5 July 2013. Lake Manyara National Park, Manyara Region,
Tanzania.
I was alone when I took this photo. It seems distinctive enough, but it would be an additional write-in species for our trip so I would appreciate confirmation of the identification. Our field guides show this species restricted to coastal areas, but this map shows it occurring inland including the Lake Manyara area. This species was formerly included in the Turdidae (Thrush family) but is now considered a member of the Muscicapidae (Old World Flycatchers). Nikon P510 Coolpix P&S |
