Black-headed Weaver aka Village Weaver

Ploceidae: Ploceus cucullatus

The Black-headed Weaver is up to 15cm in length. It was seen in the Masai Mara. There are two races, an eastern, and a western. This is the western race, P.c. bohndorffi, where the black at the rear of the head fades to chestnut, and the back is yellow, not spotted with black.
