Greetings to everyone.
I've seen this bird in my yard several times but haven't managed to identify it online.
Today I heard some mewing sounds from my room and thought that my cats were in some trouble.
Went outside and saw this bird again -next to another one of the same kind and size- chirping almost like a kitten, went back inside and grabbed my camera and this is the more descent photos I could take.
I've seen it before several times, diving into a tiny pond we have and then perching on a tree drying its feathers.
Every time it was between early morning and noon, never in strong daylight.
I've googled several times for black coloured birds in Tanzania but it never came up.This is the first species in my yard I haven't been able to identify so any help would be appreciated
Thanks to all!
EDIT: I 've noticed before that its eyes have a reddish hue and you can slightly see it in the picture.
