Flutts doesn't go North...

could be... maybe not in Kruger... where was it
in my book they say "song is diagnostic"

Yes nan , the song is indeed diagnostic The problem is , you need to hear both of them in order to compare So , if you see one of them , and hear it singing , you still do not necessarily know which one it is , unless there is another one around , which must also sing in order for you to compare

I have been north , but these were taken in the south. I also thought Levaillant's.

Thanks all. I am also confused.

I am even more confused with Cisticola. This one was taken in Chobe during a boat cruise. Is it a Zitting Cisticola ?

Sounds right to me. White-tipped large tail, striped head and white eyebrow
