Oh my Volker - you've two lovely pictures of these sandgrouse, which I think will be subspecies ellioti (thanks for the correction Volker).;)

All the images in Opus are the Indian subspecies, so a little work need doing on the article, and I'll try and sort out which of your pictures to use etc.

Many thanks for sharing them with us my friend.
