    We see a lot of birds scratching around under that particular acacia shrub, and I'm pretty certain that's what we're seeing here. Possibly a Coqui Francolin. See the second photograph in @wilderzone 's excellent guide post : "Bird-other" IDs - Medium-sized Ground Birds for an example of these birds.

    By the way - just in case you don't know, people won't see, know about, or reply to comments on images unless they happen to come across that particular image, which is going to be unlikely unless it's included in a post here in the discussion boards. Always best to ask about images here - you and others can then add comments to the image itself if wished (e.g. tagging it with a species name once identified).
