South African Cisticola (link to photo)
Recently, rudydbn posted the following photo of a Cisticola in the gallery:
http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=81397
It was photographed, quote: "near reeds and water in Eston which is 50Km inland from the coast of Durban" in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This locality combined with the very dark back pretty much limits the possibilities to two species; Winding Cisticola (Cisticola galactotes) and Tinkling/Levaillant's Cisticola (Cisticola tinniens). So, I am looking for any opinions on either of these two (or a third, in case I forgot any)...
