Marico (or Mariqua) Sunbird: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Another gorgeous sunbird from our stay at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, just outside Kibale National Park. It is the Marico Sunbird in the Birds of East Africa, and that is how I leaned it when I first encountered it in South Africa, but it is Mariqua Sunbird in eBird and, apparently, on the IOC World Bird Name List. (I should point out that there is also a possibility that this the Purple-banded Sunbird…they are almost identical expect for overall size and the length of the bill…neither of which are easy to judge from this photograph. I am pretty sure we called it a Marico when we saw it. Again, anyone who knows better please correct me.) Sony Rx10iv at 554mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
