Village Weaver

There are eight subspecies of village weaver. I saw the ssp. bohndorffi which is found in southern Sudan, northern DRC, Uganda, western Kenya and northwestern Tanzania. I saw them in Uganda above the Mabamba Swamp and below Nkima Forest Lodge northwest of Entebbe and also in a colony just off the Naurus River in Kidepo Valley NP near the Apoka Airport. 

Birds of the World does not have an illustration of a male or female of ssp. bohndorri. But Wikipeda has a photo of both. This is of a male and below is of a female. 

Photo of a female ssp. bohndorffi from Wikipedia. 

It has a strong conical bill, dark reddish eyes and in the northern part of its range, the breeding male has a black head edged by chestnut (typically most distinct on the nape and chest). In the southern part of the range the amount of black and chestnut diminishes. Breeding males in the southernmost subspecies have only a black face and throat, with a yellow nape and crown. In all subspecies, the breeding male has a black bill, black and yellow upperparts and wings, and yellow underparts. Non-breeding males have a yellow head, an olive crown, gray upperparts and whitish underparts. The wings are yellow and black. Adult females have streaked olive upperparts, yellow and black wings and pale yellow underparts. 

This village Weaver female, as well as the photos that follow, were seen on the hill between Nkima Forest Lodge and the Mabamba Swamp. 

This is a male and adolescent. 

This photo and the following were seen in Kidepo Valley NP.
