Most of these images are probably male hoopoes; the otherwise similar female has a greyer face and breast (see images 2-4). Note the foraging for underground insects with the long decurved bill in several of the slideshow images (note the unusually long bill in image #4). Roll your cursor over the enlargement to see another.
