We can ID this bird as a Karoo Prinia by its heavy streaking below, including on the throat and flanks; grey-brown upperparts and broad tail.
The Karoo Prinia is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 475.

SHARON, GEORGE & OUR GUIDE BRIAN, EASTERN COAST OF FALSE BAY, SOUTH AFRICA
We arrived in Cape Town yesterday, Nov. 14. Early the next day, our birding guide, Brian, picked us up at our hotel. We spent all day on Tuesday, Nov. 15 and Thursday, Nov. 17, birding with him. He really knew the birding hotspots and the birds in the area. He was a great birding guide.
Brian is on the left in the second photo.

This photo of the entire tour group and our guide was taken just before we left for the airport on Nov. 14. Most of the tour group were going back home, but we went on a side trip to Cape Town.
