Thanks Stan & others who looked. Yes, I agree but I don't yet have a suitable flash.

Nice shot, interesting bird. I like the lines of the bird shadowed by the lines in the leaf behind. Maybe add a touch of fill-flash if you get this opportunity again… something to add visibility & sparkle to the eye.

Flocks of these are frequent visitors to our garden. This one is raiding a weaver's nest. The Afrikaans common name is "Kakelaar" because of the cackling sound they make - quite raucous if a large flock is working it's way through the foliage. They are mainly insectivorous but eat nestlings & lizards too.
