  We investigate wide-angle pi^0 photoproduction within the handbag approach to
twist-3 accuracy. In contrast to earlier work both the 2-particle as well as
the 3-particle twist-3 contributions are taken into account. It is shown that
both are needed for consistent results that respect gauge invariance and
crossing properties. The numerical studies reveal the dominance of the twist-3
contribution. With it fair agreement with the recent CLAS measurement of the
pi^0 cross section is obtained. We briefly comment also on wide-angle
photoproduction of other pseudoscalar mesons.
