The Zanzibar red bishop is separated from other red bishops by being almost completely black below and having an entirely red crown and forehead; some inland birds have a red throat (7th row, Pangani river near Nyumba ya Mungu, courtesy of Paul Oliver). The upper photo (Nguu Mountains) is courtesy of Per Holmen. The 3rd row male with a termite and the female on a nest, were in Dar es Salaam, both courtesy of Anne Outwater. The nest with eggs (Mtwara) is courtesy of Kileo Jumah. The bottom two photos (Mbagala-Dar es Salaam) are courtesy of Prashant Ghorpade. All other photos were taken at Ushongo or the nearby Msumbugwe forest. |
