Rosy-breasted longclaw (Macronyx ameliae). This bird, also called the rosy-throated longclaw, eats mainly insects and sometimes small frogs, but it also forages for food in grass or bare ground and occasionally pursues winged insects into the air. It lives in southwestern Kenya and north and southwest Tanzania, as well as parts of Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and the east coast of South Africa. Photographed in the Vumbura area of the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
