little bird (wagtail?)

    Look at this little fellow landing right in front of the Hartebeest. What do you guys think it is? My first idea would be a Cape wagtail.

    I found a pretty similar one the other day who was just standing and gave a better view. I ID'ed as either Senegal or Black-winged Lapwing, but there's not enough detail to distinguish. ASG00007f0

    Hard to say, but it's a passerine not a plover/lapwing, big for a wagtail, my best guess is Wattled Starling - they often associate with grazers.
