Emberiza sahari
The bird roughly the size of a sparrow, with chestnut or rufous body, and white and grey stripped head. A really noisy bird - it was chirping all the time I was there (and sure thing they were not disturbed by me...). But its song, even though noisy, was pleasant.
Here observed in Biltine town, in Wadi Fira region of Chad. Semi arid region, Sahel vegetation, but fresh climate (when I was there - in April), mainly sandy and rocky bare land, with some acacia trees and shrubs.
The birds pictured were a part of mixed flock (sparrows, sparrow lark and finches), which I observed during several hours at outskirts of town called Biltine, Wadi Fira region. I really had a great time observing this flock, and shot around 250 photos.
