The pin-tailed whydah is the most common whydah, occurring in many habitats. It is the only whydah that is not host specific, parasitizing several waxbills. The juvenile is brown with a white throat and supercilium and a black bill. The 2nd row adult in flight (USA River, 7-18), is courtesy of Per Holmen; the 3rd row and right 5th row photos (Dolly Estate-Arusha, 12-19) are courtesy of Alex Rees.
