Orange Bishop

The Northern Red Bishop or Orange Bishop  is a weaver belonging to the family Ploceidae. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of the Southern Red Bishop  of the southern half of Africa. The two are now usually classified as separate species. The Northern Red Bishop is a stocky 13 to 15 cm. bird. The breeding male is scarlet apart from his black head and waistcoat, and brown wings and tail. The conical bill is thick and black. The non-breeding male is pale yellow streaked above and shading to whitish below. It has a buff supercilium. Females are similar, but smaller.  Source
