Broad-tailed Whydah

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 flight photos were taken in Kigosi (6-22), courtesy of Bob Kasworm. The other photos were taken in Kafue NP (Zambia, 4-16).
