By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Streaking quite heavy - would be interesting to know whether Karoo Prinia occurs in the area as well (transition zone with hybrids?)

By:   Colin Summersgill
Comment:   This is on the edge of Karoo Prinia distribution. I know that Dawie de Swardt did some work in this area on this, around 2010 (IIRC). I have not seen the results, but they should be interesting, as it really could be a transition zone with hybridisation.
