Robert Thomson: Bird perched very briefly near our campsite. Quite unmistakable as a Rock Thrush,. Overall patchy appearance with conspicuous white contour feather edges throughout the body that I saw. Belly light rufous-brown interrupted by white contour feather edges. Head grey, also appeared patchy. Conclusion: male Common Rock Thrush in non-breeding plumage. I don’t have a lot of experience with this species in particular, although I have seen it in Europe a few times, but I’m quite familiar with rock thrush of the same genus, and this was definitely a Rock thrush. [WABDaB Admin: description is good, species found in Chad before, observation in the Ennedi not unexpected.]
