Observation details
Very odd looking honeyguide, dark brownish upperparts, typical bicolored black and white tail, brown head with paler throat, pale whitish lower underparts. Interesting decurved dark bill quite wide at base, dark eye without eye ring. Many photos obtained close overhead in savannah woodland trees. Coloration reminiscent of Common Bulbul, decurved bill cuckoo like, tail coloration and behavior, odd twisting and turning of neck and head, very honeyguide! An unexpected species, I believe first seen in this location in 2009 at Mole NP (Valentine, G. 2013. Bull ABC 20: 70).
