Kibuyu, I don't know! Is it or isn't it a Water Thicknee? Or is it a Senegal Thick-knee? They look pretty much the same to me...

Why isn't it a Water Thicknee?

Guess we did it together! I must have labelled it just as you were ID-ing it! I thought it was a Water Thick-knee...

I never saw you had it labeled as anything? It just said unknown spotting when I saw it
