Nightjar Freckled (Caprimulgus tristigma) female, at night – Namibia

The male Freckled Nightjar has white tips to its tail but not the female.

This image was captured on a night drive and with the aid of an LED torch.  Using my Nikon D800 with Nikkor Lens 300mm f2.8 I was able to get a pin sharp image.
