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 above and in the slideshow are of the western nominate race which has the same distinctive malar stripe, but a smaller white patch on the belly. These photos were taken in Oldonyo Sambu-Arusha, Olduvai, Engikaret, the Maasai steppe and Sanjan. The 5th and 6th row photos are courtesy of Per Holmen. The pair in the lower photos was photographed at Lake Eyasi (2-08), courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. Click the image above to see enlargements which include both races, both sexes, and juveniles.
