Does anyone know what bird this is? It looks like something familiar but I can't find it anywhere. The picture was taken in the Sinai area of Egypt

This might be it, a Persian (Kurdish) Wheatear, see link below...

The Egypt link wouldn't work but found the image under the Israeli link here...

I've never seen one personally, but I believe your bird is a Blackstart.

Thanks and thanks!

That definitely looks to be it... I saw it on the way back to my hotel room after snorkeling and took the pic with my powershot still in it's underwater housing!
