Golden Weaver

I spotted this bird on our plot in Tesselaarsdal last week. It appears to be a male Holub's Golden Weaver. But if it is, we have a mystery. Holub's Golden Weaver has a well-defined range, and this one is about 1000km/600mi from home -- simply too far south. For a similar mystery, see Robber Fly.
