Watchful White-crowned Wheatear (Oenanthe leucopyga), Wadi Rum, Aqaba Governorate, Jordan

This is a desert bird in Jordan. Along with others, they exist in the sandy and rocky areas here in the south and the east. One can find these hunting and foraging alone or in pairs. They are almost easily seen against the reddish brown backdrop which is kind of strange given there are raptors in the sky and on nearby lookouts too, certainly with better eyesight than me!
