Peters's Twinspot Hypargos niveoguttatus

Small, chunky dark waxbill with bright white “twin spots” across the black belly. The male has a red hood and gray crown, and the female an orange breast and brownish head. Found in lush habitats, including forest edge, clearings, and thickets. Shy and inconspicuous. Distinctive call is a short, high trill. The rarely heard song is a complex mix of many different call types. Similar to Pink-throated Twinspot, but male separated by the gray crown, and female by the orange breast.
