Is this Eremoides bicristatus? I ask because, with an overlapping range and an obvious reason to gain that specific epiphet, it's unmissable. Seasonally cut grass, Chongwe District, Lusaka, Zambia. October 2011 Will van Niekerk attached the following image:  [101.54Kb] |

And a possible female, which matches the only image I could find that even claimed to be Eremoides bicristatus. Could be a different species, but there don't seem to be many in the region (according to Neuroweb) EDIT: I must learn to disable emoticons when placing a b next to a parenthesis!
