Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Lacks the pale cross on the head, ruling out S. gutturalis and S. pusilla. Lacks the typical colouration of S. garmani. Appears to have a continuous dark band between the eyes, and altitude and habitat also support S. capensis.
