The Pangani longclaw (Macronyx aurantiigula) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, which includes the pipits and wagtails. It is found in Tanzania, Kenya and Somalia. The bird's natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. The Pangani longclaw measures around 20 cm in length. As its species name suggests, it has an yellow-orange throat. Its more orange throat helps distinguish it from the yellow-throated longclaw and Abyssinian longclaw, however the throats of female and older immature Pangani longclaws can be more yellow. Order: Passeriformes, Family: Motacillidae, Genus: Macronyx, Species: Macronyx aurantiigula Reichenow, 1891.
