Extremely Rare Bird In Uganda

Alright there’s not a lot to go off of here but maybe you guys can get me in the right direction.

I was with my family in Uganda in 2010 and boarded a small raft with a bunch of Canadian birders. We were on the source of the Nile near Lake Victoria. We were there to look at Hippos but the Canadians were looking for a specific bird.

They were freaking out about how rare this bird was. That people spend there whole lives looking for this bird and we’re so lucky to see it.

It was pretty small. Maybe ~5” in length. It was in a brush a few feet from the water.

I recall it having muted colors but cant remember exactly.

Thats all I got. Figured Id give it a shot.
