Thanks, Aakash. I couldn't find a better ID so I went with Liam's suggestion.

It's a female Indigobird, probably Village Indigobird (Vidua chalybeata).

If this was taken in the states I'd say it's a juvenile White-crowned Sparrow, but seeing as how it was taken in Kenya...I have no clue. Not really sure if the White-crowned Sparrows range reaches that far.

Thank you for the invitation, Cole, but that is not an approved world mission. Also, the details invite people to post photos of parks but Noah does not include landscape photos.
