Lilac-breasted Roller Coracias caudatus

Probably. The angle made it look more compact than the pictures I was comparing against but the color and the little hook at the end of the bill match. Thanks

I think you are right. I thought they were bigger than Willets, but the marking is too distinctive to ignore.

Thanks! I expected the duck to be a hard one because of the lack of color and the tucked head.

If this works please ignore it, I keep trying to create a new topic and it fails, so I wanted to see if I can at least reply to a topic.
