Today's Mystery Bird for you to Identify
Certainly the overall body shape, and especially bill shape, points to bunting and surprisingly there are only five species recorded for Tanzania- of the five, both the Cape Bunting ( Emberiza capensis ) and very similar Rock or Cinnamon-breasted Bunting ( Emberiza tahapisi ) can be excluded for the lack of yellow on the breast and neither have wingbars... the three yellow breasted species are very similar (and all three also have two white wingbars), but the Cabanis's ( Emberiza cabanisi ) lacks the white stripe below the eye, leaving us with the two suggested above, the Golden-breasted ( Emberizia flaviventris ) or Somali ( Emberizia poliopleura ) both having a white crown with lateral black stripes, a white supercilium and additional white stripe below the eye, brown wings with two white wingbars, with the yellow throat and breast fading to white/buff flanks and belly...
In the few photos I have been able to find, it appears that the Somali tends to have slightly less yellow on the breast , but probably more distinct, the mantle on the Golden-breasted is clearly chestnut whereas on the Somali it is still brown but with white edgings to the feathers giving an overall scalloped look ... slight differences in the facial markings and head stripes seem to vary within each species as much as between (and there is very likely some misidentification on the various photos I can find) so I'm not sure that is a key differentiator... I think the solid chesnut mantle on our bird above points indeed to adw and carel's choice of Golden-breasted Bunting

I finally made the transition from a Nikon N65 film SLR to the Nikon D200 DSLR 1 year ago before a trip to Hong Kong and China. Beautiful pictures! I still haven’t figured out all of settings, but I have gone on many a trips with this beauty and amazed people with the composition and high quality of the pictures I bring back. I loved the fact that my existing Nikor lenses I used for my old film camera worked with this camera as well. The main reason I chose to switch to digital and get the D200 was to be able to photograph spectacular sites around China and blow them up for the walls of our “asian-themed” guest room. It’s a project I haven’t completed yet, but I can’t wait. One of the great things of this camera is the ability to create large scale prints from your digital images, so I hear. If you don’t expect to print anything larger than 8 x 10, you probably don’t need this much camera…
