Thanks everyone for the kind words. The bird is a Grey-Headed Bush Shrike and the snake is a venomous vine snake. It was pretty incredible watching them square off in the road. Our tracker and guide were even more excited. The bird won. First it pecked the snake's eyes to blind it and then it killed the snake and eventually had breakfast.
