Sooty Chat

In our first area of Uganda the sooty chat was ubiquitus. I got lots of photos of it on the hill between Nkima Forest Lodge and Mabamba Swamp southwest of Entebbe. In fact, I got sick of it and quit taking photos. I believe I saw them in Murchison Falls NP, but took no photos and I don't recall seeing them in Kidepo Valley NP, but may have been just completely ignoring them. 

The male is glossy black except for a white patch on each wing and the female is dark brown and has no white patch. 
This and the next photo are males. 


This and the next photos are females. 




This photo, female, next photo male, from Birds of the World.
