The village weaver, also called the spotted-backed weaver, is seen throughout Tanzania. The race bohndorffi in northwestern Tanzania has black scapular patchs and a chestnut breast (see the first 2 slideshow images). The extent of black on the head varies with geographical area. Slideshow image 13 of a sleeping adult shows the spots particularly well. |
