Comment:   Looks like the forest morph of B. melanocephalum to me "nebula". It is not a separate assessment though. Would like to know which habitat it was in!

Comment:   "nebula" is restricted to Karkloof. This is just a juvenile thamnobates. Note the enlarged gular lobes not seen in melanocephalum.
