I post it here hoping for south african expert opinions
End of October, Golden gate highlands national park (SA)
c.ca 2400 meters high
Very Pink bill base (exclude African pipit) but the back is not as marked as I would expect for mountain...I am puzzled.
Unfortunately breast markings are not fully visible and external rectrices are hidden.
Unfortunately it didn't call.
Is it possible from these pics tell apart A. hoeschi and A. similis; if so, how?
