A lot near zebu's water sourse. Fore and hind basitarsus seems very characterictic?

Hi Nikita
There are eight species of Ochthera recorded from Africa - and I don't have the literature! The swollen hind basitarsis is typical of several species, but the detail of the foretarus should enable positive identification. Any live shots, or are the crocodiles too close? B)

No crocodiles, alas;)
Thank you Tony.
