White-bellied Go-away-bird (Corythaixoides leucogaster)

A very funky savannah bird that's commonly found in most Acacia thornbush and woodland areas in North-eastern and Eastern Africa.

The name Go-away-bird has always fascinated me. :D

It is a strange name, isn't it? A lovely portrait of this handsome bird, Mustafa.
