Hi James and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I've moved your post to the ID forum, someone will soon be along to advise you.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Hi James, a warm welcome to Birdforum, from me too.
I think your bird is a Cape Weaver

Hi James. Just wanted to say welcome to BirdForum. Not the faintest on your bird I’m afraid.

One of the Weaver species I'd say.
