Observation details
Going through old photos and have been looking at the attached. I probably left this unidentified at the time and therefore didn't have a mechanism for listing it in the pre-eBird era. It seems pretty clearly to be Scleroptila sp. with the extremely orange head pointing to Red-winged Francolin but the black-and-white hindneck barring perhaps more suggestive of Shelley's based on photographs in eBird (although in some areas Red-winged does seem to show this). The almost completely uncontrasting crown seems equivocal and not pointing obviously to either. I'm inclined to Red-winged but not sure if these images are sufficient.
