The white-bellied canary is a northeast African endemic. Most of the photographs in the slideshow are of the eastern race maculicollis: note the white belly and vent and the olive-green malar stripe. Several photos including row 3 above are of the western nominate race which has the same distinctive malar stripe, but a smaller white patch on the belly. Click the image above to see enlargements which include both races, both sexes, and juveniles. The pair in the lower photos was photographed at Lake Eyasi (2-08), courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. |
