The white-bellied canary is a northeast African endemic. Most of the photographs in the slideshow are of the eastern race maculicollis: note the white belly and vent and the olive-green malar stripe. Several photos above and in the slideshow are of the western nominate race which has the same distinctive malar stripe, but a smaller white patch on the belly. These photos were taken in Oldonyo Sambu-Arusha, Olduvai, Engikaret, the Maasai steppe and Sanjan. The 5th and right 6th row photos are courtesy of Per Holmen. The left 6th row photo is courtesy of Frank Priscus Shirima. The pair in the lower photos was photographed at Lake Eyasi (2-08), courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst.
