Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Combination of unstreaked (pale-brown) crown, obvious black lores and rufous flanks point to Pale-crowned Cisticola, rather than Zitting Cisticola. Compare with similar-looking Desert Cisticola, which has paler flanks and less obvious black lores. Excellent photo record for the Locus!
