Thanks for great pictures! I like your birds very much. You know last time I am living in Uganda and it is Africa’s most rewarding ornithological destination.
This is the female and I'm sure what your seeing is her alertness to defend any threat to her egg.The male has a bigger red area on top of his head and a bigger red mustache ;-)
