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?

6.

Another smaller Cisticola? Tydon Safari Camp, Sabi Sands

7.

Same as 6

8.

Another Cisticola? Could be same as 6 & 7 at Tydon Safari Camp, Sabi Sands

Neddicky for 6, 7 & 8.

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

Yes....could be (Rufous-winged)

in the Kruger, I think

It seems I got one... but can't remember where and the name of course

[Lisbeth]

Levaillant's, I think!

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

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 .
