Bird ID Please

Taken 14th February 2016
Nairobi National Park.
I think/hope that these are my last ID request pictures. For more details on my trip, see here: http://www.zoochat.com/808/trip-kenya-february-2016-a-435669
I haven't been able to work this one out. Maybe some kind of warbler or one of the unstreaked cisticola species?
 
I don't have access to my bird books, but it looks very cisticola-ish, however I don't remember any species with a clean breast and belly. If not a cisticola then most likely a warbler.
 
the light is washing out all the back of the bird, but maybe Cisticola cantans. I think the crown and wings look rufous, and the undertail looks right.
 
I have just found some pictures of a different individual but the same species (which was quite common around Nairobi National Park) which shows the back well.

I think the rufous colouring on the sides of the wings show that it's a Winding Cisticola C. galactotes?
