Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus bilineatus)

Adult, sex apparently alike (at least overall fenological characters). Subspecies most like the bilineatus (?). Udzungwa Mts, July 2007. Copyright@; Louis A. Hansen. Absolutely a wonderful beautiful bird to have in the hand - look at the shinny black-bluish head (picture quality probably too poor to justify this gorgeous small wonder).
