super image of this stunner. Labelled by safari guides as ABR's ie Another Bloody Roller because they always have to stop repeatedly for this common bird as there's always a better shot.....

Stunning colour on the breast. I also like its pensive expression accentuated by the slightly lifted head. Looks like it had some trouble finding a good perching spot on that thorny bush.
