702. Pale (Mozambique) Batis (Batis soror)


15.4.2011

This is a Chinspot Batis, I think

[nan]

with a narrow black breast band and long eyebrow

[Lisbeth]

I thought so too, but look at the long eyebrow, the narrow breast band and the white spots on the back. Maybe it got lost

We must ask Nan who IDed it maybe

[Mel]

But the breast marking speaks for Toko's suggestion. In a pale batis you would hardly be able to see the black in this kind of position.

[nan]

the black breast start higher than the Chinspot
and what about the eyebrow

[Toko]

You see mainly the wing and almost nothing of the breastband in this posture.

Pale Batis would have a grey white mottled back and is very unlikely to find in KNP
