Cape or Orange River White-eye? (1 Viewer)

[Andy Adcock]

Just going back through old shots as I update my list, I finally grasped the nettle and am tackling White-eyes. I've got this labelled as Orange River but would welcome confirmation or otherwise. It was taken in S. Namibia.

I would agree, peachy underparts (especially apparent to the rear of the flanks). Also I don’t believe cape white eyes are found in Namibia. The two species seem to only really overlap in central South Africa.

Yes I would agree, and as Bewick says, the Sasol guide also confirms that this is the only White-eye in southern Namibia - according to that guide the only other White-eye in Namibia in Southern Yellow, but this occurs in the extreme north of the country.
