Saw this in a park in JHB. Help is appreciated. Is it perhaps a Streaky-headed Seedeater?

Yes, your bird is a Streaky-headed Seedeater.

Eugene, I agree with deefstes' call, you are right on the Streaky-headed Seedeater.

GP, my first guess would be Streaky-headed Seedeater.

@ GP - yup, this one is indeed a Streaky-headed Seed-eater - can't see what else.

Nice shot DB.
We get them at the lodge at Welgevonden (adjoins Marakele NP) all the time, along with Yellow-fronted Canaries
