Rufous-bellied Tit Melaniparus rufiventris [3]
2+ Dzalanyama 23rd and another 24th.
As with my last visit, one showed much duller underparts than was expected of Rufous-bellied Tit so was perhaps an intergrade with the sometimes lumped Cinnamon-breasted Tit Melaniparus (rufiventris) pallidiventris which occurs to the east of the Rift - or perhaps Rufous-bellied is simply more variable than the books imply?
