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

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 ?
