Сомалийский бегунок Cursorius somalensis

A plain, pale courser with black lines behind the eyes that make a “V” when seen from behind. In flight, the wings are partially black with a white trailing edge. Found in dry savanna, thornscrub, and desert. Usually in small groups, which tend to flee from disturbance on foot. Very similar to Cream-colored Courser, but browner and shorter-winged, with partially pale rather than completely black underwings in flight. Fairly similar to Temminck’s Courser, but paler overall, lacks chestnut in the crown, and has a paler underwing. Calls include a quiet “whit” and a louder “trow.”
