Thanks for confirming my ID, deefstes, and for all the additional interesting info about how to differentiate these birds. And for relating your awesome kill sighting :shock: , I've yet to see anything like that! Always something to look forward to!!

Hi just went through some photos and I think this might be a Southern-masked Weaver female?

Sorry Batty didn't add that its in Bloem, so it's either Southern-masked Weaver or maybe the Southern-red/Yellow-crowned Bishop

Batmad,
It's most likely a female Red Bishop. This bird has a yellow eyebrow, a pinkish bill and pinkish legs. a Thick-billed female doesn't have an obvious eyebrow, the bill is very heavy and yellow-brown and the legs are dark.
