This female Ruff (Philomachus pugnax) with its bright orange legs was standing near the edge of a waterhole in Moremi Game Reserve (Botswana) the morning of August 23, 2012. We'd left Xakanaxa Camp just after sunrise via a safari vehicle to bird and look for big game. The short bill is slightly decurved and has a slightly bulbous tip. Upperparts are scaled. Underparts are white as is a small patch at the base of the bill. Temperatures were in the upper 70's with clear sunny skies.
