The upper images of a Madagascar bee-eater were taken in Mahale in (8-07); the 2nd row images were taken in Tarangire (7-09); the adult and juvenile in the third row were seen in Tarangire (5-11), courtesy of Colin Beale. The right lower bird was photographed in the Usambara Mountains (12-11), courtesy of Stein Ø. Nilsen. The other lower three images were taken at Lake Chala (4-11), courtesy of Lyn Waltenberg. It is similar to the blue-cheeked bee-eater, but note the brown cap, white borders along the eye mask and the reddish-brown throat.
