I don't know anything about Zitting Cisticola other than what I see in a book. Pizzey / Knight show it as having a greyish face & "lacks golden tonings". What little shows on your photo is clear at being reddish above the eye, so nothing on which to suggest it is not a Golden-headed Cisticola

Could someone please confirm my ID of the photo below. It was take in North Queensland in a swamp and I believe it is a Golden-headed Cisticola. However, the area is also a habitat for Zitting Cisticola. I was unable to get a good look at the bird to positively ID as one or the other (and not having previously seen a Zitting), so would appreciate another opinion.

Regards
