Hi - Can someone please identify this little bird that I recently photographed at the Mokala Game Reserve, Northern Cape, South Africa?

I presume its a warbler species.

Thank you.

Herman

It looks like a Chestnut-vented Tit-babbler to me. Nice pic,

Thank you for your response, Peter. I think you are right... I was missing the spots under the throat but on reviewing the image further, I think I do notice some spots.

Again, many thanks.

Cheers,
Herman

Tit Warbler / Babbler though why anyone would use Babbler when it's a Sylvia Warbler?
