Hi,
I thought this was a Southern Grey Headed Sparrow, apart from the speckled utc's and what looks faintly like malar, submoustachial and moustachial stripes. Having difficulty finding images with the same or similar markings in the books or online. The facial stripes remind me of Scaly Finch, but the rest doesn't fit. There is also a faint eye stripe.
Any ideas on this bird would be very helpful. Taken 42 Km east of Windhoek, Namibia at the Naankuse Lodge at the edge of the Kalahari.
Many thanks
