I mis-filed the following pics under African Pipit, but I believe that to be incorrect. Can someone please identify these.
Thanks
Chris

Queen Elizabeth NP South Africa? I've been to QE NP in Uganda. I wasn't aware there was one in South Africa too.
Umm I assumed the South Africa bit was right, the QE bit perhaps wrong. I still think it's white-browed (i.e. cf brown-backed) because:
  • Many of the E African forms of white-browed have white wing "panels" but photos from Uganda show that there they can still show the 2 wingbars (as here)
  • The back seems quite warm and I don't get the cold overall impression of brown-backed
  • The cheek doesn't seem monotone grey as it does in brown-backed
