Eurocephalus ruppelli
Dark brown (to black) and white bird from Shrike (Laniidae) family, about 20 cm long. Normally gregarious, hunting in small groups, but here seen alone.
This shrike's range is limited to Easter and Horn of Africa, including parts of land in South Sudan. Here seen in open semi-arid to arid acacia woodland, close to the road and not too far away from human settlements and agricultural fields.
This spotting was a lifer for me, as it is a first recording on Project NOAH.
