Hi
I was back in South Africa at Sabi Sands/Kruger N.P. last week and I have some species of which I have either a poor pic or in some cases a good one and still can't arrive at an ID. Some of these I know what I think they are but I don't won't to pre-influence people. Can you help again please?

Does anyone have any idea about this bird seen in KNP? Looks like a Cisticola to me but not sure.

Could be either Rufous or Levaillant's -- these are very very similar , and need also views of the back and tail for more positive ID . But , based on territory , southern part of Kruger , probably Levailant's . Rufous is more likely Pafuri area .
