we have the "white eye" in SA....it is greenish yellow......with white ring around the eye,,,~~~~ they are found in small parties..we have two bathing in our pond..
visit flowers and creepers in search of insects.....and they "cheep..cheep.." they have a sort of jumping movement....!!!
I am not sure if this is the same sort you have....but it is rather common in SA.
Are we looking at a Blackstart again Benny? Do you have a note of the tail colour? Frank's call of RB flycatcher falls down on the overall dark tones of the plumage for me. Might be a female Black Redstart...
Ralph: I don't think it's a Blackstart cause this one was smaller. That's the only pic I got, so I can't tell the note of the tail color. It might be a female Black Redstart. Can it be a young robin as mmmstreaker and sini suggested?
Robins tend to be more "scaly" looking plumage and more reddish brown. Plus, by now it would probably have lost its' juvenile plumage. My hunch is Black Redstart.
