The Black-headed Weaver! - a photo on Flickriver

            The black-headed weaver (Ploceus melanocephalus), also known as yellow-backed weaver, is a species of bird in the family Ploceidae.
Breeding males have a black head and yellow nuchal collar. The pale yellow underpart plumage is suffused with a variable amount of chestnut.
The female and non-breeding male lack the black head, and resemble a female masked weaver, except that they have dark eyes and a darker bill. Their buffy breast plumage also distinguishes them from non-breeding golden-backed weavers.
It occurs in West, Central and East Africa. It is found in savanna and similar habitats, typically near water. 

This beautiful Weaver was photographed on a boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.
