More info - Southern Grey-headed Sparrow: http://www.sntc.org.sz/birds/speciesinfo.asp?spid=243 Yellow-throated Petronia http://www.sntc.org.sz/birds/speciesinfo.asp?spid=244
A juvenile Passer sp., I'm guessing Southern Gray-headed Sparrow over Yellow-throated Petronia due to the lack of facial pattern.
