    Notes on George Suckley

    What a sad story.. It never seems to happen to the bad guys

    Could be Grosbeak?

    I can't rule them out, because of the factors I gave in #5 above. Not all ages and subspecies are covered as far as I can find to match the IQ of the OP images.

    Could be Grosbeak?

    Possibly even https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Cinnamon-breasted_Bunting or https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Golden-breasted_Bunting Would depend upon location. The IQ is poor (sorry, no offence intended), as is my eyesight, so the above might be options, but I am tending towards as well.

    Green or Orange-winged Pytilia? Kruger NP South Africa, June 2023

    Hi, both are the same bird and the only photos (cropped) I got. Could you please help me in identifying the species. I think it is probably a juv Green-winged Pytilla, but I can't rule out an Orange-winged Pytilia. I would like your opinion to help me decide either way. In the Complete...

    Comment by 'Andy Hurley' in media 'Pair of Wire Tailed Swallows'

    They are indeed Wire-tailed Swallows, Robert. A few pointers; chestnut crown covers the whole crown to the nape, dark band behind legs is a key identification point for African swallows, especially if the wires are shortened (wear) or missing (in non-breeding birds).

    Lark June 2023 Lower end of Kruger NP South Africa

    Hence the very short tail... I should have clicked, as it didn't really fit the Larks. Thanks very much Larry. Would Southern Red Bishop be likely?

    Lark June 2023 Lower end of Kruger NP South Africa

    Hi, I am trying to find out the species for this bird. I've cropped all and lightened one, but I don't really know what I'm doing with the software. Appreciate any help you can give. Many thanks

    Comment by 'Andy Hurley' in media 'Red-necked Francolin'

    I posted this because there was only one image of this species that I found in the Gallery. That one was from Uganda and subspecies P. a. cranchii. This is P. a. castaneiventer.
