Red-headed Weaver
Anaplectes melanotis
Native Range: Africa
Notes:
male in breeding condition is unmistakable with a bright red bill as well as a bright red head and upper breast; the female is similar but has yellow wherever the male shows red; the nest is like a hanging ball built of sticks and with a long tube extending downward through which a bird enters from below.
