I'll take your word for it! Well done - smart bird, smart photo. I have a retired friend here who runs the local bird club. He is also an Honorary Ranger in Kruger. I think you two would get along very well. He has several 100 species on his life list, not only in SA. I know he went to Central & N America specifically for Humming Birds.

this is special personally for me, since this is a lifer. at last saw
for the first time and managed to photograph it too. though it is
officially a (resident) wader, they have short bills adapted to aerial
feeding, "typically hunting their insect prey on the wing"
