The breeding male broad-tailed whydah has a shorter, broader tail than the eastern paradise-whydah and the hind-neck is orange, not yellow. It has a preference for miombo woodland and may be seen in southern and western Tanzania. It parasitizes the orange-winged pytilia. The 2nd row photo (Mikumi) is courtesy of Isaac Kilusu. The flight photos (Kigosi) areof Bob Kasworm. The other photos were taken in Kafue NP (Zambia). |
