Golden Palm Weaver Ploceus bojeri

Breeding male is bright yellow with a mostly orange head. The female is duller, though still very yellow. Both sexes show a dark eye in all plumages. Found in coastal savanna and scrub, often in areas with abundant palms, and inland along rivers through dry country. Similar to African Golden-Weaver, and ranges overlap, but separated by the blackish rather than red eyes. Vocalizations are typical of weavers: “chet” notes and a sizzling “radio static” song.
