Cisticola-sangere er det ypperste blandt Afrikas 'Little Brown Jobs', og at forholde sig til et enkelt billede uden oplysninger om stemme er ikke den mest sikre disciplin at kaste sig ud i. Men jeg er overbevist om, at dette fine billede ikke viser arten Desert Cisticola, der er typisk for udpræget græsland, hvor den endog ofte ses pile rundt på jorden. Desert Cisticola er en lille stribet sag - i størrelse og proportioner helt som en europæiske Cistussanger. Fuglen på billedet virker i mine øjne større og kraftigere og har bl.a. tydelig rødbrun isse og hvidlig øjenbrynsstribe. Mit bud på arten er, at der er tale om en Rattling Cisticola (Cisticola chinianus) i yngledragt. Det er en af de almindelige Cistocola-sangere i tørt buskland i det sydlige Afrika, og arten sætter sig netop ofte - som på billedet - i toppen af en tornet busk. Men det havde været rart, at have haft stemmen med…

A few comments in favour of DESERT C.
- in English in order to stimulate
specialists.

¤ The TAIL appears shorter than Rattling's
(C. chiniana) and without R.'s
rufous tinge.

¤ The conspicuous RUMP is not brownish like
Rattling's, but bright orange-tawny.

Many thanks, ARNE, for the sharp shot
from Limpopo Province
