Species name:   Phylloscopus ruficapillus -- Yellow-throated (Woodland-) Warbler; Geelkeelsanger
Species code:   671

Comment:   P. ruficappillus seems to be more of a lowveld inhabitant than so far inland (VM Maps and eBird). Also the crown and upper plumage colours differ. I see that in the locus below (2527AC) P. trochilus has been recorded, and based on that the image is heavily edited for hue and saturation compared to the original, could this be the species?

Comment:   Absence of white eye-brow and black eye-stripe, yellow bill with a broad base, and a greenish crown - my vote is Icterine Warbler.
