Brad photographed this Double-banded Courser (Rhinoptilus africanus) while we were driving in the area of the waterhole at Okondeka in Etosha National Park (Namibia) during the morning of August 16, 2012. This species is named for the two black bands that encircle a whitish collar that separates the bird's lower neck and upper breast. Coursers are terrestrial feeders, and sexes are alike. This photograph provides a nice side view of the bird, its bill shape and silvery gray-colored legs. Temperatures were in the upper 70's with partly cloudy skies.
