Beautiful Sunbird
Cinnyris pulchellus
Native Range: Africa
Notes:
its range in North Africa extends from Sudan to Senegal; the male (not pictured) is indeed beautiful, with red and yellow underpats and long central feathers on a pointed tail; the female, by contrast, is drab and basically brown all over.
