The main identifying feature of the red-billed firefinch male is the partially red bill. Jameson's and African firefinches have black bills. This is the most common and widespread firefinch. The image above and several in the slideshow were made in gardens in the Arusha and Marangu areas. Roll your cursor over the enlargement to see a second of a female.
